how do I adjust finder 'view' options to scroll up/down NOT side to side

Using finder/download I like to see my files/photos, apps, music.... for easier filing/deletion, so I use icon view.

I was thinking that way back when in icon view/kind/date added I would see a page of icon files that I could scroll up/down and enlarge w/ slider bar - (if it decided to work, if not- once again turn off/ turn on.... that's a whole-nother issue)

Anyway, now in icon view I have this never ending line of icons/files that scrolls side to side - what a pain to file.

Is there anyway to set back to a page view instead of the line view?


thanks for any insight!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Turn off the Arrangement.

Arrangements are groupings of like items. It is not sorting.

You have set your arrangement such that all of the icons fall into the same group and are listed horizontally in that group.


View menu, Arrange By, None.


If you want to sort, hold down the option key and Arrange By will change to Sort by.

You can also set both from the View Options dialog (cmd-j).
