BRU wont create new folders, it can only rename existing ones.

If you dont mind commandline apps, jhead & exiftool are a few that work.
Examples below assume your .jpg's at C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics, so edit as needed.
Both will create the properly named YYYY-MM-DD SubDir if needed to move files.
jhead -exonly -n"C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\%Y-%m-%d\%f" "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\*.jpg"
exiftool -filename^<DateTimeOriginal -d "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\%Y-%m-%d\%%f.%%e" "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics"
Remember, exif-data may contain alot of dates: DateDigitized/Modified/etc
Most people mean Exif:DateTimeOriginal when saying a jpeg's 'exif-date'.
Both commands are tailored for Exif:DateTimeOriginal, however:
The jhead command also accepts other exif-dates if DateTimeOriginal doesnt exist.
The exiftool command only accepts Exif:DateTimeOriginal (usually exists anyway).
Some people assign their own priority by using different exiftool lines in a batch like:
exiftool -filename^<DateTimeOriginal -d "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\%%Y-%%m-%%d\%%%%f.%%%%e" "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics"
exiftool -filename^<CreateDate -d "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\%%Y-%%m-%%d\%%%%f.%%%%e" "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics"
exiftool -filename^<ModifyDate -d "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\%%Y-%%m-%%d\%%%%f.%%%%e" "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics"
exiftool -filename^<DateDigitized -d "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics\%%Y-%%m-%%d\%%%%f.%%%%e" "C:\Users\Tommy44\Pics"
Each line moves files having its date-type, & next line continues with any files left-behind.
Those are all exif-dates, some go so far as to add lines with FileCreateDate, etc.
(If you decide to put the jhead command in a batch, remember to double all the %'s)
Sorry, I prob wont be able to post back, tried to include anything you might need.
Im sure there's prob graphical renamers for this as well, hope you find something useful.
