well, thank you, but actually at the end I did it manually because the
number of different extensions was limited

then, in each folder, I ran a partially modified code to split the files in
subfolders yyyy-MM-dd, according to last modification date, using
powershell

source:
https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/?p=6984


--- start of code ---
# Get the files which should be moved, without folders
$files = Get-ChildItem '.\' -Recurse | where {!$_.PsIsContainer}

# Target Filder where files should be moved to. The script will
automatically create a folder for the year and month.
$targetPath = '.\'

foreach ($file in $files)
{
# Set Directory Path
$Directory = $targetPath + $file.LastWriteTime.Date.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")

# Create directory if it doesn't exsist
if (!(Test-Path $Directory))
{
New-Item $directory -type directory
}

# Move File to new location
$file | Move-Item -Destination $Directory
}
--- end of code ---
