Info for sorting is here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/sorting/
I now added Featured sorting at Places > Settings > Sorting, see image 1.
That makes sort available in the shortcodes, blocks or widgets, see image 2.
You are using blocks rather than shortcodes, so I have added a test page for you to see how to use the GD Listings block instead of coding your shortcodes manually: …/wp-admin/post.php?post=2326&action=edit
On that page, click the block, that will show the settings on the right, you may have to toggle the “Show Advanced Settings?” button to see all of them.

The Listing Title is not showing after paging.
I cannot see that on your homepage. The widget titles like “Places” and “Events” stay visible when clicking on the pagination links.
Am I misunderstanding?
Thanks
