Automatically Arranging Clips in Icon View

When you’re in icon view in the Browser, you can organize clip icons however you want.
You can use the Arrange commands to automatically arrange your icons from left to right,
either in alphabetical order or by duration, within the current width of the Browser or
bin window. This is useful if the Browser or a bin window has overlapping icons or if you
find yourself constantly scrolling to see icons.
