    Salut !

    Pour une sélection d'objets, alignement (left) sur un objet clé

    // JavaScript Document for Illustrator
    function test() {
      var docRef = app.activeDocument;
        if (!selection.length) return;
        var sel = selection;
        var  currObj, VBounds, pointText, dec = 15, rep;
        var groupText = docRef.groupItems.add();
        for(var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
          currObj =selection;
          VBounds =currObj.visibleBounds;
          pointText = groupText.textFrames.pointText([(VBounds[0]+VBounds[2])/2,VBounds[3]-dec]);
          pointText.contents = i;
          pointText.paragraphs[0].justification = Justification.CENTER
        }
        redraw();
        rep = prompt("N° de l'objet clé",0);
        sortVertically(sel,rep);
          function sortVertically(items,rg) {
              for(var n = 0; n < items.length; n++) {
                if (n != rg) items.left = items[rg].left;
              }
          }
        groupText.remove();
    }
    if (app.documents.length) {test();}

      Je vous remercie! Ça marche. J'adore la fonction de numérotation.

      Thank you, ALL, for the help.

      Is der any way you can help out with writing script where we do not want to change position of one object. We can do this using position and coordinates

      can you change stacking order? for example, you can designate your key object to be the top most object in a selection

        Carlos, can you expound on this? I'd like to make the bottom selected object the "Key Object" for alignment. How can I do that?


        manually.

        if you have an array of objects you'd like to align, you can get the last item in the array, then update the position of each remaining item in the list to match your desired alignment preferences.

        var array = [items,to,be,aligned];

        var bottomObject = array[array.length-1];

        for(each item you want to align)

        {

             item.position = [enter new, coordinates];

        }
