How many icons do you have?  My goodness... Are you one of those guys who's desktop 
background IS a bunch of links that fill the entire screen? :)

Anyways, it sounds like maybe it is sorting the links by the type of file/folder 
they are linked to.  Not sure, I have never done a arrange by type on my desktop.. 
:)  I usually drag and drop the icons into groups where I want them, but I only keep 
a few.  Go into C:\Documents and settings\\Desktop and switch 
to a "details" view.  Then, arrange by type there, and take a look at how it is arranging 
them, maybe you will get a clue as to why they are arranged the way they are.  Make 
sure you have turned off the folder option to hide the extension of known file types 
(tools -> folder options -> view).
