Fences 5 Rearranging icons within fences

Hello, when i try to move my desktop icons into an open space within the fence they get re-arranged in the order of left-right.

 

Currently I'm only allowed to arrange icons like this:

=========

And id like to arrange them like this:

=      =  =   =

=    =  =      =  =  =

=   = =       =

or:

====

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, all icons inside a Fence will always be arrange like what you see.

Thank you.

That's strange because fences 4 didn't have this "feature."

You might be talking about auto arrange which is annoying tbh
To turn it off, go to the desktop

right-click>view> click on auto arrange icons

It doesn't matter if you turn desktop auto arrange layout on or off. Those icon inside a Fence will always auto arrange into this.

ohh I get what you mean, google how to create an empty icon on the desktop

after google "How to Hide Icon Names on a Desktop" then you can use them as placeholders 

not the best solution but it can be used to achieve what you said
