[SOLVED] Command line command for "Arrange Desktop Icons"

I would like to rearrange the icons for a live system after some other changes using a script.
For this I need the command line command for the desktop function "Arrange Desktop Icons".

The second option would be to change the
/home/<user>/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml
file with command line commands.

Thanks in advance.

“pax in terra” - that is my great, my only, heartfelt wish.
“Peace on earth” and everything else seems simple.
