Startup disk on top in Tiger, not in Leopard

Question

Having recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, I noticed that the startup disc, which used to be always displayed on top of the others, remains where it was before restart when I decide to switch discs. I found it quite useful, on occasions, to instantly see which disc was the one running the show just by glancing at the desktop.
Before I move on to Snow Leopard, can someone please tell me why that useful feature would have been removed from Leopard or, better still, how to restore it ?
Thank you.

a brody, Thank you for having replied so quickly.
Unfortunately, I do not see a check box for the icon arrangement.
Here is what I did.
In the Finder, there are 8 menus:
Apple -- Finder -- File -- Edit -- View -- Go -- Window -- Help
I clicked on the 5th item, the View menu.
There were 13 choices available :
as Icons
as List
as Columns
as Cover Flow
Clean Up
Arrange By
Show Path Bar
Hide Status Bar
Hide Toolbar
Customize Toolbar...
Show View Options
I opted for the last item, where I was offered the following possibilities :
— A graduated scale to set the icon size
— Another graduated scale for Grid spacing
— A scrollable menu for Text size
— Two radio buttons to set the Label position : either Bottom or Right
— A check box to Show item info (which is empty)
— Another check box to Show icon preview (which contains a check mark)
— And, finally, a scrollable menu that allows to Arrange by:
I clicked on the scrollable menu. There I found the following items :
None
Snap to grid
Name
Date Modified
Date Created
Size
Kind
Label
What did I do wrong?
