Desktop icon order gets disordered

I have all my basic application icons arranged in a particular order in two columns on the left margin of the screen. This allows quick scanning to find the icon I'm looking for.

There is a gap after the second column before I add more webpage icons that I interact with daily. Normally new icons are added at the end of the second column. No problem. But sometimes, for no apparent reason, a new icon is automatically added at the top of the first column. This moves all the other icons down one space, disordering my arrangement.

I've done a right click on an empty space of the desktop, and clicked on VIEW : Show desktop icons. But this does not restore the original order.

Is there anything I can do to avoid having my icon arrangement disturbed when I add a new website icon to the screen?

Welcome.
1- Right-click on Desktop, View and switch on/off Auto Arrange Icons.
2- Save the website shortcut in another location and then move it manually to the desktop.
3- Use the favorites bar if you are using Edge or another browser. (example below)
