How to sort directory and then file
In gnome3, file and folders are mixed, that's if the folder is sort by modification dates. See example screenshot below.

Well, for personal preference would be, folders are group first and then with normal files. See example screenshot below.

In order to achieve this behaviour, gnome configuration need to be alter. Launch dconf-editor in the command line and navigate in such a fashion. Go to org -> gnome -> nautilus -> preferences . Then check sort-directories-first. See screenshot below. Easy :)

How to enable weather in the gnome panel
During gnome2, it is as easy as adding a location and in the drop down of the date/time applet. See screenshot below.

However, thing get changed in gnome3. Date/time applet no longer showing weather information. There is an alternative, gnome-shell-extension-weather package add weather information to the gnome panel. See screenshot below.
![gnome-shell-extension-openweather](http://noflex.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/gnome-shell-extension-openweather.png)
To install this extension, it is as easy as apt-get install gnome-shell-extension-weather
To enable gnome-shell-extension-weather in the gnome panel, you need to enable it. To enable, launch gnome-shell-extension-prefs from the command line and then search for OpenWeather and flip the switch to on position. See screenshot below.

Now the weather information should shown in the gnome panel! Start adding more places of interest in the applet! :)
To end this article, try to add places of interest in the weather applet :) I will leave this as an exercise for you.
