Bug Description

Upgraded from Ubuntu 18.10 to Ubuntu 19.04.

On the upside, Ubuntu 19.04 now handles my unusual desktop geometry, and displays desktop icons within physical monitor dimensions (I have one landscape, one portrait display).

The downside is there's no sort option for desktop icons anymore.

Icons are snapped to grid automatically, but all arrangement for now is manual.

The restoration of "Sort by name" functionality at the very least, and perhaps the addition of "Sort by type" would be even better.
