How to fix files stored at random, in the wrong place.

[rivalg]

After finding missing files, LR stores these at random in its parent folder,  and not in the subfolder these belong.

The structure I am using is MMDDYYYY - I have a good many files that are stored at the level YYYY, not at the YYYMMDD, where they are supposed to be.

How do I re-oranize these using LR 9.2.1?

Thank you for any suggestion.

Your question requires more than a simple answer.

I suggest you look at tutorials in these links-

Although I have watched these tutorials, I will watch them again. 

Thank you for your help.
