Is there a way to make folders auto-sort when new items are added to them?

Is there a way to make folders auto-sort when new items are added to them? I’m sure it can be done with a script, but I hope there’s an easier way, as my scripting is rather rusty and wasn’t very advanced to begin with.

    If there is no script already in the wiki repo I will write one monday if I don’t forget.


    What kind of sorting do you need?

    Just alphabetic. At the moment, I perform a manual sort every time I add an item to a folder. In fact, I also do it when I remove an item; otherwise the gap left by the removed icon doesn’t get filled.

    That option applies to the whole desktop, not just folders.

    I thought it was a global setting. How does one set it for all folders, present and future?
