Is it possible to make the name of combined layers the bottom one's?

Question

Sorry for the bad English in the title. What I mean is, for example I have 3 layers
top - Edit 2
mid - Edit
bot - Main layer with a name that makes sense
When I combine them together, the name of the combined layer becomes "Edit 2". Is it possible to make it the bottom one with a setting? Maybe with an action? (just to be clear, it is not always 3 layers and the names are not "Edit, Edit2" etc.)

It is fast when there are 10 layers but when the numbers become 100+, you feel the difference 😕😕

I honestly have no idea how yours work, but mine is basically create 2 arrays with for then compare them to find difference. And since it is a loop, it gets slower with more layers.

I did not see the simplest way - to get the name of the 1st target layer and assign it after convert to SO.

function main() {
	var s2t = stringIDToTypeID;

	(tr = new ActionReference).putProperty(s2t('property'), p = s2t('targetLayersIDs'));
	tr.putEnumerated(s2t('document'), s2t('ordinal'), s2t('targetEnum'));

	(lr = new ActionReference).putProperty(s2t('property'), n = s2t('name'));
	lr.putIdentifier(s2t('layer'), executeActionGet(tr).getList(p).getReference(0).getIdentifier(s2t('layerID')));
	var nm = executeActionGet(lr).getString(n)

	executeAction(s2t('newPlacedLayer'), undefined, DialogModes.NO);

	(r = new ActionReference()).putEnumerated(s2t("layer"), s2t("ordinal"), s2t("targetEnum"));
	(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t("null"), r);
	(d1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putString(s2t("name"), nm);
	d.putObject(s2t("to"), s2t("layer"), d1);
	executeAction(s2t("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
}

app.activeDocument.suspendHistory("Smart Obj Script", "main()");
