If normally the orienation of your images is horizontal then use:

function gF(v) {
	if (!ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript)
		ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript')
	xmp = new XMPFile(v.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ).getXMP()
	return /1|3/.test(xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_TIFF, 'Orientation'))	//	or use 6|8
}

fls = Folder.selectDialog().getFiles(gF); while(fls.length) open(fls.shift())

function gF(v) {
	if (!ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript)
		ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript'),
		gP = function(v) {return xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, 'Pixel' + v + 'Dimension')}
	xmp = new XMPFile(v.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ).getXMP()
	return eval("gP('X') " + lessthanorgreaterthancharacterassignedearlier + " gP('Y')")
}

lessthanorgreaterthancharacterassignedearlier = ['<', '>'][0] 
fls = Folder.selectDialog().getFiles(gF); while(fls.length) open(fls.shift())

    Had to add a try catch to ignore errors that happen in the gF function when the selected folder has folders and perhaps some none image files.

      try...catch statement is also necessary, because ExternalObject is not always reliable.

      You would to get all the Image files names then filter the file list be processing the file meta data.  Even the file filtering that can be done on windows is only relative to file types not image attributes. getfiles gets you a list of file names. On Mac you even have to code a filter to filter file types.
