In OS X Lion I click on some of my folders in Finder and the title row of the files contains the usual stuff like "Date Modified" and "Size". However unlike the old Finder view I can't click on them to sort. Why is that and how do I make it never show up ever again?

Make sure "None" is selected in the sorting options menu - else you have the behavior you described.

Oh thank God. lol – justinhj Sep 27 '11 at 3:00
Found this confusing, too. "Arrange by" and "sort by" are almost synonymous -- it feels broken when they're actually mutually exclusive states. – emcmanus May 10 at 3:44
