How can I sort a sequence files into two new folders in Automator?

Question

I have a folder with 2000 files. I need to sort these files into two folders. I have sequentially renamed the files in automator so that a number is the first character of each file. I need to put the odd numbered files in folder one and the even numbered ones in folder two.
I can do this sort in a spreadsheet. How do I get the resuls of the spreadsheet sort back into automator?
Or is there a better way to do this within Automator?

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "Finder"
set source_folder to folder "folder:with:2000:items"
set folder_1 to folder "folder 1"
set folder_2 to folder "folder 2"
repeat with this_item in (get items of source_folder)
if (item 1 of (get name of this_item)) mod 2 is 1 then --odd number
move this_item to folder_1
else
move this_item to folder_2
end if
end repeat
end tell
Insert the paths to the actual folders in lines 2, 3, and 4.
