If you you the opt-Clean Up command, then the Finder will lay out the icons
differently depending on whether yo uare View by Icon or View by Small Icon
mode.  

If in View by Icon, it lays out icons horizontally so that you can read
the name across.  If in View by Small Icon, it lays them out vertically so
you can read the names down the columns.
