What is the code to move the currently selected object up one layer?

Question

For example:I want sel[j] to be positioned above sel[j-1];var doc = app.activeDocument;
var item = doc.selection;
sel = items;
for (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) {

};

Hi rob day.move()?For example,how do I use it? If possible, I'd like to get it done in one go.how do I use it? var d = app.activeDocument//a selection on the bottom layervar s = d.selection[0]//this doesn’t do anything because s //is the only object on the item Layer named "Gray"s.bringForward()//make a new layervar ns = makeLayer(d, "New Gray Layer");//moves the selected page item to New Gray Layer // note that the parameter has to be a reference to an item Layers.move(ns)/*** Makes a new named Layer * @ param the document to add the layer * @ param layer name * @ return the new layer */function makeLayer(d, n){    if (d.layers.itemByName(n).isValid) {        return d.layers.itemByName(n);    } else {        return d.layers.add({name:n});    }}

Do you want to move a page item up in the containing layer’s stacking order?

Here there are 3 page items in Layer 1 (there’s only 1 Document Layer). To move the selected item up 1 place in Layer 1’s stacking order (there is also s.bringToFront(), s.sendToBack(), s.sendBackward()):

var s = app.activeDocument.selection[0]
s.bringForward()
