  I need to upload old posts from a previous blog. However, if I post the old posts the same day, they will look like they are actually recent posts instead of old archive items.
  How can I create an archive for such items?
  Is it possible to create a side column to order the old posts and related comments?

  Are you importing the posts? If so, they will be imported with their original post dates.

  No, unfortunately I have to copy and paste them.
  What do you think would be the best way to store them into an archive?

  In that case, the post will publish with today’s date, but you can edit the post after publishing to adjust the publish date.

  You can change a post’s date on its editing screen: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/
