How do I pick the X nearest intances of an objets

Hello,

Is there an easy way to pick a number of nearest instances of an object ?

Ex : pick the 3 nearest, and order them by distance.

Thanks

for each playerb sort by distance(playera.X,playera.Y,playerb.X,playerb.Y) < 250 ascending

action

loops through the objects closer then 250 pixels starting with closest.

Thanks, it works perfectly
