I have over 500 irregular shapes with different sizes on artboard, total area of them is less than artboar's area . align/arrange all of them and control overlaps manually is not possible , are there any script to re-arrange (put each shape on free space) all these shapes inside of artboard without overlaps ? (maybe with space filling algorithm)

Edit : this picture is good sample for my need. many shapes with different size.

If you have a problem with irregular shapes - outline them regular shapes, then group them and align/arrange/distribute. Finally, delete regular shapes.
