There should be a way in scripting to
- select the top 50 [EDIT: should be 100, of course]
- move them to an autonamed-subfolder

After assigning a keyboard shortcut to it, it would mean 50 keystrokes for the job. Of course, once scripting gets loops it will be one keystroke...

This seems to work pretty well, you have to answer a single prompt each time through (the recursive checker) and break out of the loop yourself, but that's not too bad.

Depending on how you want to separate the files you may need to change the second SortBy function.
Also, you can speed it up significantly by doing the following:
Turning off auto-sizing columns (View -> List View -> Autosize Columns)
Using a simple view (List and Small Icon work well)
Hiding the tree (Window -> Show Navigation Panel)
And making the window you're going to run this in as small as possible.

Code: Select all

"mover"
	Setting(HideFoldersInList, 0);
	//Create new folder (using suffix to avoid collision)
	#231;
	SortBy(Created, d);
	Sel(1,1);
	Set($d, <curitem>);
	Setting(HideFoldersInList, 1);
	SortBy(Name, a);
	Sel(1,100);
	Focus(List);
	MoveTo($d);
	Sub(mover);

Not bad!

Still some problems with it though:
Updated version: And it can cause XY to crash.
If you shrink the window down as much as possible and leave the tree visible, #231, causes it to crash.

So hide the tree!

Fixed.
