Is there any global Finder setting for "Keep Arranged By"? Is there any global Finder setting for "Keep Arranged By"?

I know I can set it on a per folder basis pressing Option - Right Click:


It is painful having to do this for every folder though...

Right-click on the background of the folder and choose "Show View Options". Set it up how you like and click on "Use as Defaults". "Show View Options" is also in the View menu in the top menubar or even available via "Command + J" on your keyboard.

That's the theory, but honestly I've had mixed results with this.
