"Clean up by" is still a manual thing you have to do regularly? My downloads folder looks like a mess because files constantly get added/deleted from it via the Dock.

No, that's "Clean Up", which just aligns & tidies stuff a little. "Clean Up By" is automatic.

I generally disable "Clean Up By" because I love to visually group my folders for some types of folders. e.g.: Assets there, source files here, readme and docs to that corner, etc.

However, sometimes an orderly folder is required and I enable Clean Up By date for example. That folder is always sorted by date.
