FinderMind Controller is pretty straight-forward. When you click the buttons, commands are sent to the Finder, and then it carries them out. Simple, really.

 The first tab is called View/Sort
Here you can specify the view
and sort settings for your start-
up disk and the desktop. Simply
click on the button who bears 
the caption that is what you want.
Easy. If you more help regarding
what each button does, there is
the baloon help option which
you can turn on under the Help
menu. Simply point with the 
cursor on the button and a little
bubble will appear, explaining
in detail what  the specific button
does.
