Did you try the align tool?

Select the Move Tool, and you'll see three buttons on the option bar that look like this:

These buttons each display drop down menus for positioning objects in various ways.

The first button, 'Arrange', can be used to reposition layers relative to each other. An example would be shifting a layer to the back of the image. This is just a convenience really, as the same effect can be achieved by dragging the layers up or down in the layers palette.

The next button, 'Align', is the button we are interested in. This allows you to align any of the edges of the layers, or their horizontal or vertical centers.

To use this option, select the layers containing the objects that you want to align, holding the Ctrl key to enable you to select more than one layer.

Now that multiple layers are selected, the options under the align button become active. Now just click on, for example, 'Left Edges' to align the left edges of the layers
