Is there any way to re-order the icons in a folder so that they appear
alphabetically?  I want to display the icons in the "Show by icon" or "Show
by small icon" format but I want them to be listed (and maintained)
alphabetically.

Also, is there a way to get "Clean up window" to move icons (or small icons)
into appropriate array positions such that they do not obscure or overlap one
another?  E.g., if an icon has a long name attached to it, the next array
position over to the right might be left empty (or whatever); otherwise it
would be the same arrangement as "Clean up window" normally creates.

Thanks,
