Hi,
I'm looking for a script to order selected layers alphabetically. I'm familiar with Adobe Photoshop Scripts | Trevor Morris Photographics, but am looking for constraint to selection. I've tried using this script: get array of selected layers in photoshop via extendscript · GitHub in combination, however, I've hit a wall.
Thanks,
Tom
I reproduced the error ).
This should work
var idx_shift = 0;
try { activeDocument.backgroundLayer } catch (e) { idx_shift = 1; }
while (1)
{
var list = get_selected_layers();
if (!list) { alert("No selected layers"); break; }
var list2 = new Array();
for (var i in list) list2.push(list);
function cmp(a, b)
{
var x = expand_numbers(a[0]);
var y = expand_numbers(b[0]);
if (x > y) return -1;
if (x < y) return 1;
return 0;
}
list.sort(cmp);
var cont = false;
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
{
if (list2[1] != list[1])
{
set_layers_index(list2[1], list[1]);
cont = true;
break;
}
}
if (!cont) break;
}
alert("Done!");
