Rename and sort layers by AI

Not renaming using AI, and not sorting layers into groups… But it may help someone else if naming by blend mode is your thing:

// Single history stage undo

1. Copy the code text to the clipboard
2. Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not in a word processor)
3. Paste the code in
4. Save as a plain text format file – .txt
5. Rename the saved file extension from .txt to .jsx
6. Install or browse to the .jsx file to run (see below)
