>I have a situation where I have X-Axis and Y-Axis coordinates for various sites in a geographical region. From one of those sites, I need to create a list of the other sites, beginning with the nearest one, and continuing out with the next nearest one, and so on, in that order.

See Thread #422168 Message #422256 for the formula for longitude/latitude distances. You may be able to use it for one of your columns and then use it for sorting.
