Is there a way to organize the list so the closest restaurant is list item 1 and the furthest is the last list item, etc... Thanks for any help, Max Title Comments Hi there, I am using the BTA Design Menu to show a list of local places to eat.

This of course, will require modification of the plugin. This is the base source code (iOS) that I'm using... CLLocation locA = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:lat1 longitude:long1]; CLLocation locB = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:lat2 longitude:long2]; CLLocationDistance distance = [locA distanceFromLocation:locB]; [locA release]; [locB release]; Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Smug It almost sounds like you're working on a similar item to NickRick... https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=02850869548DD12E229D546&tid=02850869548DD12E229D546 Comments If you can obtain the geo coordinates of the destinations, you can calculate distance between current location and 'possible' location, and sort it by distance.

I just read through my configuration JSON. I also read through the NickRick link you posted. Im pretty new to this and hope it isn't too hard. Could you guide me a little bit more? I really appreciate your help! Thanks, Max Comments Hey thanks Smug. What file do I need to calculate this in. I just read through my configuration JSON.
