  • Selection order of items in the project window

    Posted by Eugene Boitsov on January 13, 2019 at 1:39 pm

    Hello,

    Is there a way to get the selection of items sorted by the selection order?
    It seems like app.project.selection attribute only provides the selection “in the sort order shown in the Project panel”.
    Is there something else in extended script?

    Thanx in advance!
    Eugene

    Hi. If you select items in the project panel (using Ctrl click) and drag them into a comp the layers will come in in the order selected. Is that what you mean?

    Hi Greg,

    Not exactly. I’m trying to catch all the selected items from the project window through the extendscript so it could appear in an array in it’s selection order. And after some search it seems to be impossible..
