What if you either:
turn off automatically filtering, do the move to a local or imap folder
where you select the new messages and run the filters
or
let evolution run all the time with a frequent enough check for new mail
that there will only be a few new messages each time? And be sure the
inbox stays empty - Evolution may be doing a lot of work looking through
old messages even if it is only processing new ones.

I guess the reason I don't care about the sort is that I already have
several separate accounts where different things land naturally and
internet list mail never mingles with business mail in the first place.
The only place this is a problem is when I send a new mail list message
and forget to set the 'from' to the subscribed address (this happens by
itself on replies).
