Sorting files into only existing subfolders

i'd like to sort files from one folder based on "name contains", into another folder's subfolders, but only if the subfolder already exist, and then sort the remaining files based on "comment contains". does this require applescript?

Seems like something that would require a script. You can use the "anything" attribute in your "Sort into subfolder", but that's only appropriate if you only have a part of the name, but that will force it to use an existing folder. The problem is that it will fail if no such folder exists and there's no fallback at that point.
