Arrange Icons (Frame)
The subcommands of the command Arrange Icons allow you to align, to distribute or to reverse the order of the selected icons within the Frame window. First, select the objects whose icons you would like to arrange by dragging a marquee around them or by holding down Shift and clicking the objects with the left mouse button one by one. Then click the object to which you want to align the other selected objects with the right mouse button and select the respective subcommand.
The submenu provides these commands:
