Organize atoms by distance?

Code:
        a_oview(distance, atom/center=src)
            var/list/atoms = list()
            var/top = center.y+distance
            var/bottom = center.y-distance
            var/left = center.x-distance
            var/right = center.x+distance

            for(var/yy = top, yy >= bottom, yy--)
                for(var/xx = left, xx <= right, xx++)
                    var/ay = ((yy + world.maxy - 1) % world.maxy) + 1
                    var/ax = ((xx + world.maxx - 1) % world.maxx) + 1
                    var/turf/T = locate(ax,ay,center.z)
                    var/atom/A = locate() in T
                    for(A in T)
                        if(A != center)
                            atoms.Add(A)

            return atoms


Problem description:

Basically I'm wondering how i could re-organize the list and store them in order by their distance...basically process the closest atom in priority to another one similar that is further away.

Please don't bump unless the post is off the page and it's been 24 hours, it just becomes an annoyance.

I should probably use the Swap() instead and use the same array in the arguments to make it more efficient, but whatever, I'm going to bed. Goodnight. D:

I went ahead and did it. Enjoy. I left it in separate procedures just incase you wanted to extend functionality outside of oview(). :3

Thanks :3
