Pd-l2ork has this, too-- "Tidy Up" in the Edit menu. It's a little strange-- if you click it once it will sweep the selected objects into a

"pile", and if you click again it will fan them out like a deck of cards. But it can work well for some situations.

This is because in pd-l2ork first press on tidy up aligns objects to the closest axis. This can sometimes make objects overlap, even though they are aligned across a desired axis (e.g. if you duplicate an object a couple times and then try to align it with duplicated objects). That is why there is the second press which spaces out objects according to the shortest space between them unless the shortest space is an actual overlap in which case it respaces it by a default spacing value that is applied to the right side of the object to the left. Now, if you can understand what I wrote in one read, go get yourself (if age < 21 && location == USA; then popsicle; else beer;)
