Photoshop: How to duplicate a layer below the original layer

Question

I use Alt + Shift to duplicate a layer, however, the layer always gets created above the layer I'm duplicating.

How can I duplicate it and have the layer automatically go below the layer I'm duplicating?

Howabout recording a action with duplicate and move layer down? — joojaa, Dec 20, 2015 at 8:48
You could use the keyboard shortcut cmd + [ to move a layer below — KJP, Dec 21, 2015 at 8:44

You can duplicate a layer CTRL/CMD + J and move the top of the 2 layers.
