How can I sort a folder in OS X Lion without having to group files as done with "Arrange By"?
Solution 1:
You need to press Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-Number instead of Ctrl-Cmd-Number.
To get the sorting (instead of arranging) menu items, hold down Option. The implemented the Sort by/Arange by submenu somewhat oddly though, so pressing Option while it's already visible won't change the menu items.
