Hi there,

With the addition of the geolocation in Maps 1.4, is there any underlying code that can be used to order results by distance?
I know we can use the distance filtering with the maps, but what would be great is to be able to return for example a list of businesses by order of closest to furtherest away, based off either the users location, or a pre-defined address (exactly like it works in maps).

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - there is no such feature exists to order posts by distance as you said but you may use some custom script and use view's filter wpv_filter_query to order your posts.
