About geospatial sorting

You can add properties to Endeca records that represent latitude and longitude pairs. These properties are known as geocode properties.

Result sets that have geocode properties can be sorted by the distance of the values of the geocode properties to a given reference point. For example, if the records of a particular dataset represent individual books that a large vendor has for sale at a variety of locations, each book could be tagged with a geocode property named Location that holds the store location information for that particular book. Users could then sort those books so that books that are more closely located are displayed first.
