I'm trying to figure out a way to organize already imported pictures into Aperture by date. I'd like to folder to be made with the dates and all the images sorted into them.

Does anyone know of a way to do this or maybe an automation script that can handle it?

I have not used Aperture, however this is how it could be done assuming it works similar to lightroom:

In finder go to your Aperture files, create folders for the dates or possibly weeks that you want to sort the photograhs by. Then change your view to list and sort the files by date created. Select the files and move them into the new folders.

That is manual, and would be time consuming however it works with lightroom.

With the free 30 day trial, I plan on giving aperture a try but have not downloaded it yet. Been too busy to get the most out of the trial but may give it a try on Monday.

That would work except Aperture uses 1 file to store all of the masters/raw photos in. So there isn't anyway to organize via flat file.
