Tell us what you are trying to do?
Because the simplemap plug-in stopped working on our site we decided to rebuild this functionaliteit with the toolset maps plug-in. We got the most part working except the sorting of locations. When using the 'use my location' button the locations under the map are sorted correctly, but when we search a location like 'Rotterdam' first we get 'Ridderkerk' and then 'Rotterdam'.
What we would like to see?
When we search for a place the locations under the map needs te be sorted correctly based on the linear distance between the searched location and the other locations.
Example when we search for 'Rotterdam':
- Rotterdam
- Ridderkerk
- Vlaardingen
and so on.
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

When you edit your View you should see an option to order by the distance from the address field (see screenshot).
If you don't see the distance option there may be a caching issue on that page, perform a hard reload and it should appear.
However, the only options are to order by the distance to a fixed location, or the user's current location.
The option to order by the distance to a location specified in a search isn't available. It appears to have been an oversight, and I have submitted a request for this to be added.
Currently it just isn't possible, but I'll press for this to be added soon as it is an obvious use case.
