How do I copy my files, documents and folders from my desk top into a new folder, making sure they stay arranged the same as they were on my desktop when I open the new folder?
iMac, OS X 10.11
First create the new folder.
Then set the View menu to 'as Icons',
Then set the View -> Sort By menu to 'None'
Now you can drag files into this folder, and the icons should remain wherever you set it.
Once done, you can use View -> Clean Up to align icons to their closest grid intersection if that matters to you.

Not sure it can easily be done, but first click on the Desktop>View menu>Sort by, what is that set to?
Thanks BDAqua. It's set to None.
