Can I make player tokens always on top / in front of all other objects

I am drawing things from decks and placing them. I would like the player tokens to always appear on top of these but cant seem to manage this. I have created characters, controlled by players, and also edited player tokens to be controlled by players etc to try to make this happen. (As well as setting turns)

You can right-click tokens, and from that menu there is a potion called something like "move", which has the options "bring to front"/"put to bottom". selecting these should move player tokens to the top of the token layer. Not sure if you can make this to be always true, but it's at least a workaround.

Just for clarity, for the players, their controlled tokens always pop to the top.
Thanks guys. I have started using the quick keys O and M to put the dungeon tiles on the map layer. works well. as the GM player tokens were still going underneath other items I pulled out of decks.. not sure why

Hi Aaron.thx for the input.  I have tried that just now and one player has a token that I set to be controlled by her and when she moves it, it still goes behind some of the stuff on the Object layer that I put there a few seconds before which she cannot more.  Any ideas? thanks Russ

My suggestion would be to make your token, set it’s sight and lighting, move it to the front and then save it to the character sheet.  Always remember that if you do something to a token and then don’t save it to the character sheet, the next time you drag that token out, it will be the old, pre-changes version of it. Also, if you’re creating tokens for spells and such, mark them a move to back (or is it bottom?).  That’s the back (or bottom) of the token layer, so they won’t get lost, they’ll just be below all of the character tokens.
I cannot seem to get this to work . new objects drawn from decks are still always on top of player tokens.  Is there anyone who could jump into the game and have a look please?
