macOS Terminal / automator / applescript best option?

[Dal123]

I want to be able to search for files, folders & move them accordingly. On various conditions like date range (months & years) etc.
I won't bore you guys with a long thread, but what would be my best option; terminal / automator / applescript?

With the information given, the best option would be to use the one you know best.

My next question would be: What have you tried? Be specific.

I'd then ask how you intend to specify date ranges, and again, be specific.

Thanks for your reply. I am just learning and am only at the very basics. I was planning to use terminal to:
sort items from date range in chronological order;
arrange items in chronological order;
take items from month and year and move them to a new folder;
repeat this for the remaining 11 months;
Probably some flaws here, I'm just about learning the cd command ha.
