	// No need for target lines, redundant in standalone scripts not utilizing Bridgetalk.

	// Not personally a fan of writing out globals like this, a bit messy/cluttered to my mind.

	// The active document
	var doc = app.activeDocument;
	// The path of the original document
	var originalDocPath = doc.path;

Simple way to scramble all text inside an Illustrator document

	/**
	* Scramble all text within an Illustrator document
	* https://gist.github.com/Inventsable/8914a86153a6fad831904bb69199621c
	*
	* Uses a very simple method to randomize each letter, not something like Ipsum text.
	* If not using a monospace font, can cause overflow or change of dimensions.
	*
	* Example: "Lorem ipsum" becomes "gtnuq muwne"

Recursively sort all layers in Illustrator alphabetically

	var deep = true, // Set to false if you don't want to recursively sort layers within layers too
	isLowerFirst = true; // Set it to false if you want to place the layers with the first uppercase letter above

	// Convert ILST collection into standard Array so we can use Array methods
	function get(type, parent) {
	if (arguments.length == 1 \|\| !parent) parent = app.activeDocument;
	var result = [];
	if (!parent[type]) return result;
	for (var i = 0; i < parent[type].length; i++) result.push(parent[type][i]);
	return result;
