If you're using icon view clean up puts all the icons in orderly positions (Lined up horizontally and vertically). I think the order depends on other settings. If you want to see just go to icon view, move the icons to random places, and choose clean up.

If you are at the Desktop, it arranges the icons on the Desktop. If you are in a Finder window and right click, it moves around the items in that window.
