Favorites and files

I've recently downloaded Flock since I can't access parts of a particular website with IE and I have read other people have been having the same problem. I guess Microsoft has found a way to work around the problem with IE8(beta) but don't know for sure.

I have found two annoyances rather quickly with Flock otherwise it doesn't seem too bad so far. Admittedly I have only been using it for around 1-2 hours so far but everything seems pretty decent other than the two things I haven't figured out yet.

Organizing favorites:

How do I get the regular favorites sidebar to look the same as the managing favorites(in the same alphabetical order). I went in and organized my favorites alphabetically in Managing Favorites and everything looks fine. When I go back into the regular Flock browser they are not in the same order. What do I have to do to get them in the same order? Sidenote: for the sites I visit on a daily basis I just put a '1' before the name of the site that way when it gets sorted alphabetically it always is on the top of the list.

Temporary Internet Files:

Where does Flock store the temporary internet files(as they are known in IE)? When I go to a webpage and listen to a stream audio/swf/flv/etc. file that I want to save how to save it permanently. In IE I go to the TIF folder and right there is the file, it may take a little looking...not as much now as in the past, but I can grab ahold of it and save it to the hard drive permanently so I don't have to worry about overrunning the cache limit of the browser. Since I am on dialup some video or even audio files can get a little big to try to download them two weeks in the future when you want to watch or listen to them again. I don't care to save the whole webpage, just the streaming audio or video file(.mp3, .swf, .flv, .mp4, etc)

You can find the temp files of flock at the following location on your OS(In my case it is XP Prof.):

C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Flock\Browser\Profiles\g194qne7.default\Cache

Or just type 'About:Cache' in the address bar of the flock you will land on the info. page of the directory.
