Why so grim, Tim?

Hello Judge! I'm resolving Grim Flayer's triggered ability. My choice is put Nexus of Fate into Graveyard and rest on top of my library. Question is, when do I shuffle Nexus of Fate into library, and whether can I keep arranged top three cards of library or not? Thanks!

When you’re resolving Grim Flayer’s (not actually) surveil 3 trigger, move cards to the graveyard and arranging them on top of your library all happens simultaneously. Nexus of Fate replaces going to your graveyard with being revealed and then shuffled into your library, so it modifies its part of this still singular event. What this all means is that you’ll shuffle Nexus into your library if you dump it to the graveyard but any cards you choose to put on top will stay on top of that otherwise shuffled library.

I have a grim flayer out, with a sorcery, land and artifact in my graveyard. I then lightning bolt my own grim flayer, does he live or die? Thanks!

Grim Flayer lives!

Before Lightning Bolt resolves, Grim Flayer is a 2/2 creature. 

Lightning Bolt resolves and deals 3 damage to Grim Flayer.

When state-based actions are checked immediately after Lightning Bolt finishes resolving, Grim Flayer is a 4/4 creature with 3 damage marked on it, so it lives.

Lightning Bolt went to the graveyard as the last step in its resolution and so Grim Flayer is now buffed by its delirium ability before SBAs check to see if anything should die.
