If you click on the "Last date modified" column header, it will get sorted to the top (or bottom). Click on it repeatedly and it will alternate from ascending to descending sort. Or, you can sort by name. Clicking on any of those column headings will cause a sort. That's a Windows standard feature. Some applications conform to it, some don't. Any time you see a button as a column heading, click on it to see what happens.

Typically, cookies won't be deleted unless you delete them manually. They're not really "temporary". They have an "Expires" date when they are eligible for automatic deletion if you ever get to the point where your "cookie space" has been exhausted. Most people never delete their cookies, so they continue to build a "collection". I delete mine about once a quarter to clean up my environment. Fewer cookies equals less search time when an application asks for "their" cookie.

If you delete them all, then you'll lose all your "save this logon" info to all the sites you frequent. Like SI, for instance. It saves your logon info as a cookie. That just means that you'll have to logon again.

Cookies take just a few bytes, usually. Just enough for the application to "remember" what it needs to remember. There is a limit, but I don't recall what it is.
