If you ever tried the "Clean Up" feature of Workbench and were not
satisfied with the result, this program might help you.

In my opinion, "Clean Up" has several problems:

   * often it changes the order of the icons in a random way instead of
     just aligning them

   * it always tries to align icons in vertical columns first

   * horizontal aligned icons are aligned at their top edge instead of
     their bottom edge, which gives you non-aligned filenames if the
     icons have different sizes

   * you can only clean up all icons in a window at once

   * you can not give a starting position for the alignment

IconAlign has none of these problems. It allows you to specify a
starting icon that remains unchanged and a number of other icons that
will be aligned according to the starting icon. You can have either
horizontal or vertical alignment at your choice and optionally equal
distances between the icons in the other dimension (which will also
sort the icons in the order you have named them). Horizontal alignment
is at the bottom edge of the icons (to give you aligned filenames),
vertical aligment is centered (like "Clean Up").

IconAlign is not as easy to use as "Clean Up", but it will give much
nicer results.
