Arranging stacking order from top to bottm

i solved original query, , have removed original defective script post. script below takes set of selected objects , rearranges stacking order (vertically) topmost object @ of stack, vertically lowest @ front (and intervening objects).

 

it should replicate action of jet_stacktoptobottom.jsx, apparently no longer available. hope may who, me, gladly have paid find it!

var thisdoc = activedocument;

 

// selected objects

var selobj = thisdoc.selection;

 

// count selected objects

var selobjcount = selobj.length;

 

// sort selected objects height page origin

var byproperty = function(prop) {

    return function(a,b) {

        if (typeof a[prop] == "number") {

            return (a[prop] - b[prop]);

        } else {

            return ((a[prop] < b[prop]) ? -1 : ((a[prop] > b[prop]) ? 1 : 0));

        }

    };

};

 

var symbolssorted = selobj.sort(byproperty("top"));

 

// each object in turn in ordered selection, bringtofront

for(i = selobjcount; >0; i--){

          var currobj = symbolssorted[i-1];

          currobj.zorder(zordermethod.bringtofront);

}

 

redraw();

awesome, thank you! looking for, sorted trees (symbols) front. have plenty of use perspective illustrations using symbols or repeated objects.
