how to keep original lower layer name when merge layers ?

Hi

CS6

there was a time when by selecting layers to be merged in a certain order you could tell pshop what layer had to be the one with the name after merge,

now if you have an intelligent later name such as uses colour 53 with hsl 0 -5 -21 makes colour 53a, and you type something on that layer such as 'this might be better'

and merge the two, the new layer resulting is called 'this might be better' and so the intelligent name is lost.

or it may simply be that you have a named layer then create a few more each with some artwork on it, merge them and end up with layer9, intelligent name lost.

I wish that ability that adobe removed , could be reinstated.

I seem to recall it was last layer selected was one that held the resulting name..or maybe first one selected !
