Change layer index by script
I am trying to change the index of a layer with a script, but I can’t find anything in the adobe scripting guide that let me handle the index number.
I suppose that it should be something like this:
app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers.index = 1;
but that doesn’t work.Thanks!

I’m curious about this too actually. Specifically, how to send a layer to the top or bottom of a comp.

The index attribute represents the layer’s order in the layer stack and you can’t change that just by setting the index to a new value. You can use the moveToBeginning(), moveToEnd(), moveBefore(), and moveAfter() methods to reorder the layers, which will result in a change to the index attribute.

Thank you!
This is the solution I end up with!Matz
var activeItem = app.project.activeItem;
var activeLayers=activeItem.layers;
for(i=1;i<=activeLayers.length;i++){
if(app.project.activeItem.layer(i).selected){
app.project.activeItem.layer(i).moveToBeginning();
};};

Looks like CC botched your code. Should probably be this:
var activeItem = app.project.activeItem;
var activeLayers=activeItem.layers;
for(i=1;i<=activeLayers.length;i++){
if(app.project.activeItem.layer(i).selected){
app.project.activeItem.layer(i).moveToBeginning();
};};
