Hi,
Basically you can sort any list by passing a key as follows:
base_location = (x,y)
locations = [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ....(xn, yn)]
def distance_between(geocordinate1, geo_cordinate2):
''' write your code here to return the distance between two cordinates
you can use google maps api for this.
''''
pass
*locations.sort(key = lambda x: distance_between(x, base_location))* #sorts
the list in-place
