Wouldn't be Batch sufficient, or you have some manual tasks to do on each open image?

It may help for you to add some more detail/context.

Have you tried:

.sort()

or:

.sort().reverse()

As in (snippet for context, not full working code):

var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the image folder:");
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|jpeg)$/i);
fileList.sort();

That is why I asked for more information, I had to take a guess and it looks like I guessed wrong :]

I'm now guessing that you are working on a single file from a specific directory/folder, you wish to close/save the open file and then have the next alphabetically sorting file in the same directory opened.

Please put me out of my misery and share, the suspense is killing me! :]

Providing the solution will help others looking for an answer to the same issue.
