Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to order my view by distance when a user inputs his/her location.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not a this moment, I found some stuff about filtering by distance but not ordering.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No

What is the link to your site?
Current working on a development website, the view can be found here: hidden link

Hi Wessel,

Are you trying to do the order by distance in a block view ?

If so then I recommend taking a look at our erratas page below as this is a known issue.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

I will use this workaround then. Thank you for your help!

One more small question.

I just remade my view in the legacy builder, and now I want to have a map that displays all the (non-filtered) location.
But when I use the builder, it says there is no view to connect the map with.

Could you tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Hi Wessel,

This usually occurs when there isn't a view on the page to populate the map.

Are you loading the view using the View block ? Secondly was this view that you've created to show the unfiltered locations created in Blocks ?

For the map to work there must be a view block on the builder that can be used to connect the map to the addresses.

Thanks,
Shane

I am currently not using a view block, but the legacy view (as you instructed above).

Is there no way to connect a map block to a legacy view?

Hi Wessel,

There is however if you provide the markers in your view with the ID of the map that is on the page.

Is your legacy view currently displaying a map ? What I mean is that you using the map shortcode in your legacy view ? If not then you can use the Fields and Views button in the view to add the map inside the legacy view and then add the markers shortcode as well.

Please let me know if further clarity is needed and we can take it from there.

Thanks,
Shane
