rd: Kinda Sorta
Version: 1.2 Sign up to be notified by email when a new version is posted
This script displays a palette with controls for sorting layers based on specific criteria.
If using only the Selected Layers in Comp (i.e., not all layers), the selected layers are moved to the top of the comp as part of the sorting process. If sorting by Layer Name, layers that have not been renamed (i.e., their names appear enclosed in brackets), the brackets will sort those layers before renamed layers.
Note: The In and Out points of negatively stretched layers are identified by their positions in comp time (i.e., their out times are treated as In points, and vice versa).
This script is used as part of the Cinematic Opening Title Redux tutorial on Aetuts+

Hi Jeff thanks for your quick response. Yes that will work perfectly! Thanks again
Hello Jeff thank you for all your scripts! My question : currently using AE 5.5 I have a comp 1 hour long with over 1500 edits referencing 4 pieces of footage. All edits are named from the original 4 pieces of footage. I’m trying to group my footage by name. For example I have 479 edits with the same name that are not consecutive. What’s the best way to do this.
Thank you in advance,
Wade
hi wade… do you mean grouping them together in the stacking order? maybe do a search for each footage name (which filters the layers to just those), select all, clear the search filter, then drag the selection up/down in the layer stack so that they are grouped together? would that work?
THANKS!! you made 131 layers very happy!
hi dgbroduction… thanks. yes, it’s up to you how much you want to pay, if at all.
One question , i saw the tutorial , and these scripts are necessary for completing it . But my question is , on this site , there isn’t any “download” button , only “Add to Cart” , does that mean that we must buy this script or there is a way-around ?
Oh… it seems there is a way-around
I figured it out … anyways thanks for scripts 
very nice
