When it asks `From  backend' you are supposed to type the name of the
backend you want.  Since your secondary select is nnml then an nnml
backend would be a good choice.  Although you could chose any of the
gnus backends.

Not sure what you mean by `archive/sort'.  But  you can create an
nnml group by giving `nnml' as backend when prompted for `From
backend'.

Another easy may is to copy a message to a group name of your choice
by pressing `B c' on a message and giving the name you chose, gnus
creates the group for you.
