Maybe I understood what you want

 

var the_name = activeDocument.name;

var files = activeDocument.path.getFiles();

files.sort(sort_func);

function sort_func(a, b) 
    {
    // Sorting will be alphabetical. 
    // It may differ from the one set in the explorer, especially for names with numbers.
    // For exact matching of sorting, you need to write another sorting function. 
    // Google will help you. )

    if (a > b) return 1;
    else if (a < b) return -1;
    else return 0;
    }

// h

Set a variable to the Folder object, and then you can use .execute() to open the folder in either Windows Explorer or the Finder on the Mac.

 

var theFolder = Folder(app.activeDocument.path);
theFolder.execute();

 

Or just skip the variable:

 

Folder(app.activeDocument.path).execute();

 

I don't know how to have the file selected in Explorer, that would probably take some extra scripting to call on local operating system commands.

 

It is possible when calling Adobe Bridge:

That's very literal of how a human would manually do it and not how one would generally do things via scripting.

Rather than telling us what steps you think you would like to do, perhaps just describe the process, the actual task. There may be a different way to the same result.

 

Such as:

 

"From a single folder, I would like to batch automate combining two alphabetically sorting files into a layered PSD file".
