Whats the difference between Clean up by and Sort by in Lion? It seems to do the exact same thing (sort files n folders according to Criteria).

Wasn't Clean up by slightly different in SL?

Thanks

I haven't compared if they're different in Lion, but generally Clean Up should just move files to the closest grid position while Sort By moves all the files into the correct order.
The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx
