I can't actually arrange things manually because it's always going to put them back in name order.
But instead if I use Sort By and choose something like Name then you could see everything is arranged by name. Using Clean Up and Clean Up By will move the icons so they are in different spots. I can also do Clean Up By and choose one of these options and it will sort everything, say by name, and snap them all to a grid. For instance I can go to Clean Up which will snap each icon to a spot on a grid so everything doesn't look so cluttered.
But if I go to the View Menu I can control that a bit. I can do whatever I want and move them to any spot I want. I've got some folders here maybe grouped together with another file. Notice I've grouped all of these images here. So it gives you the ability to be creative in how you arrange things. In a typical icon view you've got these large icons that show you what the file contains and also you can drag them around and place them where you want. It's only if I have enough space that I'll actually see them as four individual buttons here grouped together. Now if my Finder window is small, like if I shrink this, instead I'll see a button here that I can click and choose which view I want. Then I'll see icons here for the four Finder views. At the top of the screen it will show me what folder I'm in. I see large icons here in the Finder window. So you can see here I've got the Finder window open and I'm using what's called Icon View. But also if I switch to it in the Dock and I have no Finder window open it will automatically open one. To bring up a Finder window I have to be in the Finder and I can go to Finder, New Finder Window.
