Make a new folder by going to the Mailbox menu, then New Folder. Place messages there by optionally selecting them (or do it one at a time), right clicking with vo-shift-m, then choose to "move to" or "copy to" and select the folder from the submenu. Copy and paste may work, I don't know.
To sort automatically, either make a new smart mailbox and configure its rules, or use your server. Gmail, iCloud, and other providers let you choose rules from your account settings, so that all your devices have messages sorted the same. The disadvantage to using local rules on your mac is that other computers, web interfaces, and mobile devices will not necessarily reflect the changes, so that messages neatly sorted on your Mac will all appear in your inbox on your iPhone, for instance.
