I found this menu but missed the "default view" button, thanks!
It still boggles my mind that "non aligned on the grid" is the default though. It's a mess.

This infuriates me every time. This should be the default for the desktop (maybe) and absolutely no where else.

Press CMD-J to open up the visual option, you can auto group and sort, snap to grid (unsorted), choose a default view.

You can either press CMD-UpArrow or just right click on the title bar to see all the folders above it.

Windows Explorer is also missing column view, which is a much faster way to navigate the file system completely with the keyboard. I'm often frustrated in Windows Explorer just trying to move around directories.
