[support] Sorting nodes

[Warren Vail]

Registered users are not a problem, since you can have them supply info
to derive the lat/long of their location, for non registered visitors I
would look for a module supporting IP/locations, and then a module to
calculate distance between two locations (I seem to recall one), sorting
with a view on the distance between locations. 

Good Luck, Warren

The most easiest and the fastest way would be by adding "order" field (integer) and manually sort it by the order. Though, it could be PITA to reorder once I have almost hundred nodes… :(
