Is it permitted to set the table for Shabbat from night to morning?
It is permitted to set the table for a meal even when it's not right before the meal, even though one is sorting the cutlery each in its place (Yabia Omer 5, 31).
Is it permitted to sort food before Birkat Hamazon (Grace after Meals) in order to eat after Birkat Hamazon?
Birkat Hamazon constitutes an interruption for many things, including when a person sorts food before Birkat Hamazon with the intention of eating after Birkat Hamazon - this is considered sorting not for immediate use (Halichot Olam 4, p. 75).
