You said,"I know that you can add to this list from the menu bar by
choosing
View/Choose details." Details = column headings.

If you prefer to NOT view by details do so temporarily, add the column
headings you want to eventually have in the right click list then go back to
whatever "view" you want. No more columns but they will be in the list for
you to choose how to sort.

You're the one who introduced the phobia comment.

Boiling away the dross, your post boils down to:

What I want to be able to do is to select ALL the available details, and
to apply this to ALL folders, so that in future I can select the arrange
option I want from the right-click menu.

So what you asked is what I stated. No one here is a long-distance
mindreader and being an atypical post as you think it may be doesn't alter
what interpretation is possible from what you actually wrote.

You want ALL the available details (Details is a field definition all by
itself and does not equate to all *fields* available for display). I told
you how to do that (which you already knew). You want to apply that
detailed view to all [Windows Explorer view of] folders. Told you how to do
that (which now you claim to already know). "Select the arrange option".
You specified WHAT is that option (other than the one already there and
which has nothing to do with the view setting). Not my fault that you are
vague and cannot adequately describe what you want so someone ELSE knows of
what you are really asking.

If perhaps you meant that you want to add ANOTHER entry in the submenu for
the "Arrange By" context menu to include a "By Details" selection, that is
superfluous. In fact, the entire top half of the submenu under the "Arrange
By" context menu is superfluous (the bottom half gives you grouping, auto
arrange, and align to grid). All the sorting entries in the Arrange By
context submenu are already available in Windows Explorer. Just click on
the header row. If you want to arrange by Filename, click on that header.
Click again and the sorting order toggles. To sort by Type is just one
click on the Type header. The sorting is already available by clicking on
the header by which you want to sort. It's already there.

If you want more details in the display (on which you can sort) than add
more fields (headers). Right-click on any field in the header row and add
more fields, or click on More if you want to add a whole bunch of fields at
once.

I see in your other posts that you claim that you have to Details view which
would show the header row with the fields available in that Details view.

There is no "Details" selection under the View menu? One you select that
view, the folder/file pane on the right should show a header row that lists
all the fields current selected to be displayed. If you want different or
more fields, right-click on any field and select/deselect some of the
fields, or use More to select/deselect several at once.

So now seeing how you further explained yourself in subsequent posts which
was lacking in your original post, it seems you want "Arrange By -> Details"
in the right-click context menu. Not possible. The Arrange By menu lets
you select by which *field* you want to arrange (sort). It does NOT let you
switch between *views*. You can change the view (to select the Details
view) by either:

View menu -> Details
Right-click, context menu, Views menu, submenu pick Details.

Again, in the context menu:
- Arrange By: for sorting on an available field.
- Views: Pick a view, like Details.

He didn't mention anything. He used "guys", which word has been used
to refer to girls also at least since 1960 (Sixty) when I saw a girl
use it to address a group composed only of girls.

How old are you that you don't know this? How old are you that you
engage in silly questions?
