Copying specific data from one sheet to another using VBA - excel

Question

I have two workbooks:
Source.xlsm, sheet= Orig and
Destination.xlsm, sheet=New
I am trying to move data between these sheets in a specific way: Example of both sheets before running the macro (the column ordering is on purpose)
My objective is to take only the rows from Orig with today's date and place all of them in a specific ordering to the end of the New sheet. So that after running the macro, New looks like:
Any suggestions as to how to progress would be amazing
I have the following code snippets to start to form a solution, all saved in Source.xlsm. This works apart from the added complication of empty columns in both sheets that would be filled out manually with other data that isn't moved/ edited with during the macro execution. Wihtou the empty columns on each sheet, this works.
Sub TransferToday()
Const CriteriaColumn As Variant = 4
' The leading "0, "-s are used to be able to use sCols(c)
' instead of sCols(c - 1) in the For...Next loop.
Dim sCols() As Variant: sCols = VBA.Array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Dim dCols() As Variant: dCols = VBA.Array(0, 2, 4, 3, 1)
Dim cCount As Long: cCount = UBound(sCols)
Dim Today As Date: Today = Date ' TODAY() in excel
Dim dwb As Workbook: Set dwb = Workbooks("Destination.xlsm")
Dim dws As Worksheet: Set dws = dwb.Worksheets("New")
Dim drg As Range: Set drg = dws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Resize(, cCount)
' Prevent copying if an occurrence of today's date is found in destination.
' If not needed, out-comment or delete, it doesn't interfere with the rest.
' Dim dCol As Variant
' dCol = dCols(Application.Match(CriteriaColumn, sCols, 0) - 1)
' If IsNumeric(Application.Match(CLng(Today), drg.Columns(dCol), 0)) Then
' MsgBox "Today's data had already been transferred.", vbExclamation
' Exit Sub
' End If
Dim swb As Workbook: Set swb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
Dim sws As Worksheet: Set sws = swb.Worksheets("Orig")
Dim srg As Range: Set srg = sws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Resize(, cCount)
Dim srCount As Long: srCount = srg.Rows.Count
Dim sData() As Variant: sData = srg.Value
Dim dData() As Variant: ReDim dData(1 To srCount, 1 To cCount)
Dim sr As Long
Dim dr As Long
Dim c As Long
For sr = 1 To srCount
If IsDate(sData(sr, CriteriaColumn)) Then ' is a date
If sData(sr, CriteriaColumn) = Today Then ' is today's date
dr = dr + 1
For c = 1 To cCount
dData(dr, dCols(c)) = sData(sr, sCols(c))
Next c
End If
End If
Next sr
If dr = 0 Then
MsgBox "No today's data found.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
' First Destination Row.
Dim dfrrg As Range: Set dfrrg = drg.Resize(1).Offset(drg.Rows.Count)
dfrrg.Resize(dr).Value = dData
MsgBox "Today's data transferred.", vbInformation
End Sub

Copy to Different Columns
