Using Finder:

In some folders, I can move the files around. Place them where I want in that folder. This is very good for the eyes, when the folder holds many files and only a handfuld om them are important/relevant

In other folders I simply cannot. The files are somehow fixed to a grid and can't be moved

Changing the "sort by" to NOTHING does not help, still fixed

How do I force Finder to let me place the files as I choose?

Macbook Pro 2012 with Yosemite 10.10.1

In one of the folders where the items are "stuck", go to View menu > Show View Options, or press ⌘+J.

In the new window, change "Arrange By" to "None" and "Sort By" to "None".
