is there a script to arrange small objects alphabetically?

Question

I have small photos of Hot wheels cars, I want a script to automatically arrange these Hot wheels photos in a way that they are alphabetically sorted from A to Z (left upper corner to right lower corner) in a square or rectangular shape (number of columns equal 50% of number of rows) and each object is sitting on 60% on the next object. Will add photo of before arrangement and after arrangement (the one I done manually and want is number 2)

​@Hayder77You have very specific requirements that are not covered by a generic script.As a starting point, you can use a script to alphabetically stack the layers, then another script or action can be used to manipulate the canvas and position the layers.Adobe has the default script “Load Files into Stack”.Then there are similar 3rd party scripts:Do you always want to automate the stack and layout into sets of four layers? If so, I wrote a script for this:Do you always want a 2x2 layout, or will this vary., such as 3x6 or 4x8 etc?If you already have the layers in a file and want to sort them and lay them out, then a different script would be required.
