Pocket Query - Distance Sort

Recommended Posts

When running a pocket query is there a way to get the distance to show up so we can sort the output by distance (the same way we can sort the favorites column)?

 

A pocket query itself doesn't have a "distance" but it has the coordinates of the cache and the distance is dynamic based on where you are. What are you using to load the caches from the pocket query? Are you using the Geocaching app? You can view the PQ (under the Lists icon at the bottom) as a Map view. After it loads the map if you click one of the icons at the top, it with display the caches in list view with the sort by distance from you.

If you "preview" PQ results on the website, then you'll see a distance column. You can toggle the sort order, closest 1st or furthest 1st, by clicking on the arrow in the column header.

 

However, the distance column is based on the location specified in the "From Origin" section of the pocket query criteria. The column will be blank for PQ's based on bookmark lists or PQ's where "None Selected" is the center point.
