This can be a problem.  I don't have good solution either.  Adding
groups for me is a manual process.

I solve it by creating the group with G m and positioning it to the
location (position in *Group* buffer, or Topic) I want it to be.
Setting the level to 2 or 1 if it is a group which will have mail
automatically put in it.  After I'm sure what the headers look like
for messages I want put in the group I will add the appropriate recipe
to my .procmailrc.  This works only if the set of groups is fairly
static.

I've been experimenting with various color schemes in the
gnus-group-highlight variable (a very nifty September Gnus feature!),
but haven't found something I really like yet.  The closest has been
to vary the shade depending on subscription level.
