I'm having trouble setting a default arrange type in Mac OS X Lion. I remember doing it in Snow Leopard very long time ago but I forgot it.

What is an "arrange type"? – Mark Sep 12 '11 at 22:33

Finder works the same way (just be sure you open a real folder and try editing the view options from the Desktop as that one window has abbreviated controls.)

  • Open any Finder folder
  • ⌘+J Show View Options
  • make your changes
  • select the Use as defaults button at the bottom of the floating window

enter image description here

Strange... there's no "Use as Defaults" button for me. I'm sure I'm looking at a "real folder". Anyone else missing this button? – Chazbot Apr 5 at 23:18
Usually this happens when you are operating on the Desktop or another "special" folder like All My Files and not an arbitrary folder. – bmike Apr 5 at 23:46
