How to Set a Default Arrange Type in OS X Lion

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.

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
