Move into subfolders by date stopped working

Hello,

I've had a rule which separated videos and photos from a bunch of files and then sorted them by date into another folder. Because for videos there is no such thing as a "Video taken at"-date, I used the "date modified". This seemed to fit for videos from my iPhone and also for my camcorder.
But for some reason, this rule now stopped working correctly - the videos are now sorted into a folder named by the current and not by the "date modified"....

Thanks for any hints!

It may be that the date modified is getting updated when you do the move to the "Import Videos" folder. You may need to look for other dates to see if those remain intact after such an operation.

You're right, the date field you should take in this case is the "date created", because it changes after the "move into" command.
Thanks!!
