Actually the script doesn't organize items by date, rather it moves them into folders that are organized by date. The difference is subtle, but important. I would love to have my downloads folder organized by when I downloaded something. However, having to deal with the folders makes it much less useful. Oh well...

A script to add the date downloaded to the File Comments and then sorting by comments would not be incredibly difficult. A folder action could even be attached to automatically add the comment.

Here is another applescript that will do something like this (suggestions welcome). As each file is added to the folder, the unix command touch is used to update the modification date to reflect when it was added to the folder. To use it, open the "applescript editor", paste it in, compile, and save in "/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts" Matt
folders, too
Wouldn't that need to be
to handle folders, as well as files?
