Finder “Arrange by date” splits into Today, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 Days, etc

findersortui

When I use Finder on OSX 10.11.6, selecting any of the "Arrange by date [modified/last opened/created/added]" splits up the window into various vertical subcategories which I can either horizontally scroll through or go through one by one and select "show all" to have them treated like regular files.

Is there anyway to disable this and just have all the files in the folder sorted chronologically in the same way it treats files when you sort by name? I believe the behavior I'm looking for is the same as Windows 10 behavior.

[EDIT]

Just to clarify, I am wanting to achieve this in icon view, not in one of the other views.

Right Click → Show View Options. In the small window that opens, set Arrange By and Sort By to "None". Close the small window.

Right Click Again → Clean Up By → Date Modified or Date Created.

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent option for "Last Opened" or "Added", as far as I'm aware.
