In the developer's words
A plugin for sorting/reordering layers.
• Sort by Position ( Left, Right -> Top, Bottom)
• Sort Alphabetical Ascending (A -> Z)
• Sort Alphabetical Descending (Z -> A)
• Reverse order
• Randomize order
How it works
Sorter will take your selection and sort the layers using the ordering of your choice, relative to each items parent. This means you can have a mixed selection of top level frames, and child elements and the plugin will always sort them without throwing errors.
If you only want to sort children of your selection, enable the "Sort Children Only" option. Sorter will remember your selection for the next time you run the plugin in that file.
