Disable auto arrange

Hi, Is it possible to disable auto arrange of files and folders in windows 8.1. I am fed up with windows dictating how to arrange things. I know this could be done in previous versions of windows but not on 8.1.
I have googled this and have been told to download various files to make this possible, but i am dubious about downloading files that i dont know any thing about.
Thanks in advance.

If you have a detailed view you can sort by other criteria such as date modified, size, etc.

Thanks for reply.
I would like to be able to arrange things completely as i want and to be able to leave gaps between things as well which i dont seem to be able to do by your suggestion. Perhaps i am doing some thing wrong, im no computer wizzard.
