I load 6 images of characters (eg A B C D E)

I increase the canvas by 500% in width

Create a white layer on the bottom

I want the result to be A C E D B

I manually reorder layers

I Aligned Right the B imager and layer

I select all images, not the white layer

When I do a distribution it goes back to the original order?

Any ideas?

I have developed a solution.

Load Images into document
Manually sort images into desired order ( reverse order )
Created action that:
- Hide all layers
- Start with first layer
  - make visible
  - duplicate layer to new document
  - go to next layer
  - duplicate layer to new document
  - loop to last layer
- go to new document
- Increase canvas size by 500% width ( this is for 6 images)
- Add layer at bottom and fill with white
- Select last image and fill layer
- Right Align
- Select all layers (not fill layer)
- Distribute

I manually reorder layers

By @SteveLanc

When you manually reorder the layers, are you doing it:

on the canvas
in the Layers panel
both?

(you didn't say)

I am doing it on the layer panel. Just select and drag. I even reordered before creating the bottom layer , the layer are all transparent

I wonder if Bridge would help? You can drag to sort the images, and then use Batch rename to name alphabetically in the new order.
