Why? 

Select them and use Align.

I guess yes, if it works as you want. It really depends on your actual need.

Why do you want to position your booleans dynamically? Your string controls have to be positioned manually anyway...

Also, if for some reason the tabbing order is not right, you will have mixed string-boolean associations. You may want to use a logic on the names instead. For example: "Boolean1" goes under "String1", "Boolean2" goes under "String2", etc...

Wouldn't a transparent array of cluster be enough?

I understand. Is there a way to retrieve only the "top-level" controls in the top method? Additionally, is there a way to determine the order of the references returned by these two methods?

I don't know what you are trying to accomplish, but each G Object has a unique identifier.

Maybe you could put that to some use.
