I have an idea like first we have to find the list of files from the directory. then we have to get the month of the file using awk {print $6} and based on the month we have to move our files.

pls help me such a way to resolve this issue. Thanks!

Code:
ls -lrt | awk -v '/^\-/{print $6,$NF}' | while read month filename
do
        mkdirp -p /full/path/${month}_bkp_files
        mv ${filename} /full/path/${month}_bkp_files
done
