Why? You said it's not hard. Sounds a bit like you would be to
lazy to do any work on your side. But then, this is a newsgroup

There are lots of knowledgeable people out here willing to help
you, but you have to do your part first.

You would need to calculate/store them before moving, since mv
doesn't display even with -v the files moved, only directories on
my box.

There's no script needed, just try 'man ls' for options.

 ls -alS | head -10
