Panther: Finder sort doesn't stick

Hey Folks,

If I run the following script on a window with icons in disarray everything occurs as expected - that is until I close and reopen the window or switch from icon view to list or browse and back again.

try
tell application "Finder"
if exists of Finder window 1 then
tell Finder window 1
set current view to icon view
tell its icon view options
set icon size to 16
set arrangement to arranged by kind
set arrangement to snap to grid
end tell
end tell
end if
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum from errFrom partial result errResult to errTo
set msg to errMsg & return & return & "Number: " & errNum
beep
display dialog msg
end try

The net result is that I'm back where I started - with the same pattern of icons in disarray. The change doesn't stick.

I never had this problem in Jaguar.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks.


Chris
