# MapLocationDistance Sort Clause

The [`MapLocationDistance` Sort Clause](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/latest/api/php_api/php_api_reference/classes/Ibexa-Contracts-Core-Repository-Values-Content-Query-SortClause-MapLocationDistance.html) sorts search results by the distance of the indicated MapLocation field to the provided location.

## Arguments

- `typeIdentifier` - string representing the identifier of the content type to which the MapLocation field belongs
- `fieldIdentifier` - string representing the identifier of the MapLocation field to sort by
- `latitude` - float representing the latitude of the location to calculate distance to
- `longitude`- float representing the longitude of the location to calculate distance to - (optional) `sortDirection` - Query or LocationQuery constant, either `Query::SORT_ASC` or `Query::SORT_DESC`

## Limitations

The `MapLocationDistance` Sort Clause isn't available in [Repository filtering](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/latest/search/search_api/#repository-filtering).

## Example

```
$query = new LocationQuery();
$query->sortClauses = [new SortClause\MapLocationDistance('place', 'location', 49.542889, 20.111349)];
```
