I cannot figure out what is in those arrays. Parsing ls into an array, and find into a string variable, is very likely to eventually break. It is best to operate using NUL delimited filenames printed from find. We can also have it print the date.

Code:
destprefix=/tmp/tars
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf '%Ts %TY-%Tm %f\0' | sort -znk1 | while read -rd '' epoch date dir && ((max++ < 2))
do
    dest=$destprefix/$date
    echo mkdir -p "$dest"
    echo tar -zcvf "$dest/$dir.tar.gz" "$dir"
done

remove the echos if it prints what seems correct

wmemcpy

WMEMCPY(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							WMEMCPY(3)

NAME

       wmemcpy - copy an array of wide-characters

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemcpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wmemcpy() function is the wide-character equivalent of the memcpy(3) function.  It copies n wide characters from the array starting at
       src to the array starting at dest.

       The arrays may not overlap; use wmemmove(3) to copy between overlapping arrays.

       The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n wide characters at dest.

RETURN VALUE

       wmemcpy() returns dest.

CONFORMING TO

       C99.

SEE ALSO

       memcpy(3), wcscpy(3), wmemmove(3), wmempcpy(3)
