set theFldr to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
set theContents to sort items of theFldr by creation date
if not (exists folder "subFolder" of theFldr) then
make new folder at theFldr with properties {name:"subFolder"}
end if
move contents of item 1 of theContents to folder "subFolder" of theFldr
end tell
