Reference each geometrical position. In this case, You can use thte geometricBounds property and the width property like below

var pos = app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].position;
app.activeDocument.textFrames[1].position
  = [pos[0] - app.activeDocument.textFrames[1].width,
  app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].position[1]];

Thanks for the reply ,

here is my requirement

i have also written code

read_star(activeDocument.groupItems);

function read_star(Grps)

{

   var lay_i, txt_i, x, y, xx, xy, count, txtFramesLen, t, t1; 

    for (lay_i = 0; lay_i < Grps.length; lay_i++) { 

    if (Grps[lay_i].locked) Grps[lay_i].locked = false; 

    if (Grps[lay_i].name != "NUMBER") continue; 

     txtFramesLen = Grps[lay_i].textFrames.length;              

     for (txt_i = txtFramesLen - 1; txt_i >= 0; txt_i--) { 

        var text_frame = Grps[lay_i].textFrames; 

            if(text_frame[txt_i].characters.length==1)

            {

              if(text_frame[txt_i].textRange.characterAttributes.size==14 ||text_frame[txt_i].textRange.characterAttributes.size==12)

              {

                  if(text_frame[txt_i].contents=="*")

                text_frame[txt_i].textRange.characterAttributes.size=7.5;

                  t7  = Math.round(text_frame[txt_i].anchor[1]); 

        t8 = (Math.round(text_frame[txt_i].anchor[0]));   

                }}

        else

        {

            continue;

            }

         txtFramesLen = Grps[lay_i].textFrames.length;              

     for (txt_i1 = txtFramesLen - 1; txt_i1 >= 0; txt_i1--) { 

        var text_frame = Grps[lay_i].textFrames; 

       if(text_frame[txt_i1].characters.length==1)

       {

            if(text_frame[txt_i1].contents!=text_frame[txt_i].contents)

            {

                          if(text_frame[txt_i1].contents.match==(/[0-9]{1}$/))

            {

                t9  = Math.round(text_frame[txt_i1].anchor[1]); 

        t10 = (Math.round(text_frame[txt_i1].anchor[0]));

        t11=t10-1;

         var tm2= new Matrix(); 

  tm2.mValueA = 1; 

tm2.mValueB = 0;  

tm2.mValueC = 0; 

tm2.mValueD = 1; 

  tm2.mValueTX = t11; 

tm2.mValueTY = t9; 

text_frame[txt_i].transform(tm2,true,true,true,true,1);   

}}}}}}}}}

this is my code but i could not pass t11, t9 value inside matrix
