Keeping folders arranged-OSX 10.5.8

Greetings - is there a simple way to keep folders and all the folders within a folder organized - my desktop stays arranged but it seems like every time I go into a folder it looks like it has been hit by a bomb - so I go to View/Keep arranged by/Date and everything is fine until the next time I open the folder to discover that - as often as not - it has returned to its' bombed state - I only use one configuration and would like to set it as the default - I have tried doing that by going thru View/Show View Options making any changes and setting new defaults but that doesn't seem to do anything - any suggestions?

I wonder if your Finder preferences are corrupt. Try deleting com.apple.Finder.plist in your Preferences folder and relaunching the Finder or logging out/in.
 
How about just using column or list view as opposed to folder view? The buttons to switch views are right on top of any finder windows.
