Send to back/front of other selected object by script?

is there way script send back/front of other selected object, or target command send back/front in relation object in file? in different layers?

the answer seek in command:

 

pageitem move (relativeobject: object, insertionlocation: elementplacement)

here necessary elementplacement  enumeration:

inside

placeatbeginning

placeatend

placebefore

placeafter

some example code :

 var doc = app.activedocument; var myitem = doc.pathitems[0]; myitem.move(doc.layers[1], elementplacement.inside); // places item layer (if starts in different layer, obviously) //myitem.move(doc.layers[1], elementplacement.placeafter); // throws error "cannot move specified location"  myitem = doc.pathitems.getbyname('test'); myitem.move(doc.groupitems.getbyname('my group'), elementplacement.placebefore); // moves above group named 'my group' in stacking order myitem.move(doc.groupitems.getbyname('my group'), elementplacement.placeafter); // moves below group named 'my group' in stacking order myitem.move(doc.groupitems.getbyname('my group'), elementplacement.inside); // moves inside group named 'my group', @ top of stacking order myitem.move(doc.groupitems.getbyname('my group'), elementplacement.placeatbeginning); // moves inside group named 'my group', @ top of stacking order elementplacement.inside myitem.move(doc.groupitems.getbyname('my group'), elementplacement.placeatend); // moves inside group named 'my group', @ bottom of stacking order  

 

now let's see if can work different documents!

 

   var doc = app.activedocument;   var myitem = doc.pathitems.getbyname('test');    var newdoc = app.documents.add();   var newlayer = newdoc.layers.add();   newlayer.name = "new layer!";   myitem.move(newlayer, elementplacement.inside); // moves item specified new layer in new script-added document, although ai crashed when doing test 1st time. not sure why, it's now.
