I’m looking for some instructions on how to create a directory listing app that is location based and gives the user a list of places based on their location and sorts them via distance. Is this possible?

Yes, this is possible based on the new distance column.

Is there any documentation on how to use that column?

Yup It’s possible. Here’s my take on it from last month:

> [@Distance column officially available](https://community.glideapps.com/t/distance-column-officially-available/10318/11):
>
> Two user-specific columns feeding two single value columns and one distance column allows me to filter 15000 addresses to those that are within a x-mile radius.
