It is essential that the computed distance can be output by the view, per row. It should be sortable too.

That way, after filtering relative to a point and a certain distance (which the module awesomely handles already), the view could then display actual distances, in order of nearest to farthest. Kindof the whole point of a proximity filter methinks?

For example, think of a store finder app, where you could see the distance relative to your address per store...

AFAIK in Views 3 you can't sort on a field that doesn't exist in the database, such as "distance" which is computed on-the-fly by this module.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello

This functionality is now available on the "betterviews" branch.
It also allows sorting.
I'm closing this issue.

This will eventually make it to the 3.x version.

Let's not mark this "fixed" until we merge branches or release new a development branch including this feature. We also reference these issues on the project page:
