Calling main() when a group possesses no fextFrames seemed to through an error. Skipping these groups and deselecting all just before selecting the target fextFrames and calling main() seems to work. I've not changed main() itself. I'm a bit wary, because it was all too easy.
app.selection = null;
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var groups = aDoc.groupItems;
for (var i = 0; i < groups.length; i++) {
if (groups[i].textFrames.length > 0) {
app.selection = null;
for (var j = 0; j < groups[i].textFrames.length; j++) {
if (groups[i].textFrames.length > 1) {
groups[i].textFrames[j].selected = true;
}
}
main();
}
}
function main(){
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var largestWidth = 0;
var sLength = aDoc.selection.length;
var sel = aDoc.selection[0];
function ungroupJ(){
app.executeMenuCommand("ungroup");
}
function groupJ(){
app.executeMenuCommand("group");
}
function orientate(){
ungroupJ();
sel = aDoc.selection[0];
var anchorY = Number((sel.anchor[1]).toFixed(1));
var topLeftY = Number((sel.position[1]).toFixed(1));
var anchorX = Number((sel.anchor[0]).toFixed(1));
var topLeftX = Number((sel.position[0]).toFixed(1));
if (anchorX == topLeftX) {

}

}
