Sortie is a comprehensive layer sorting script made for After Effects.

Here’s a demonstration video of it in action.

Some main features Sortie provides:

• Sort layers based on criteria such as: position, opacity, distance from a point, name, in point etc…
• Randomize and reverse layer order.
• Group selected layers or perform sort operations in place.
• Case sensitive option for Layer Name and Layer Source sort methods.
• Compact, native panel like design. Intent on being constantly docked in your interface for quick access.

Sortie is part of a collection of scripts made to address Adobe’s neglect of improving core functionality of After Effects.
