How to use "Sort into subfolder" correctly

I have a "Sort into subfolder" action
It reads the document, and finds the "client name"
It uses the "Sort into subfolder" action to create a folder with the client's name, and moves the document into that sub-folder.
Here is a photo of the rule:

So far the rule works fine.

However I would like that newly created folder to be located on a different drive.

I thought about using the "move" action, to move the newly created folder but I think that it would wipe out any existing folder with the same name each time another document for the same client appeared.

Is it possible to create a drive/folder/file path before the final destination name? Or can you suggest a work-around?

You would do a move to the common folder that contains all these client folders, then use Sort into subfolder. Sort into subfolder will use existing folders if available.

Thank you. Perfect solution. The answer is so obvious that I should have been able to figure it out.

There's a different problem on the ultimate drive (OneDrive/Cryptomator) which I referred to in another post related to copying and synching (and now I discover also related to "sort into subfolder") which I will deal with separately by sending you the relevant part of the log in debug mode as per your request yesterday.
