Thanks. It's no saving and no search. Just query and display. The items will be displayed as a ListView and the user can chose two different ways to sort the list and filter the list based on specific predefined values.
To be more specific, it's a list of around 60 "places" that can be sorted by name alphabetically or sorted based on the distance from where you are (so some dynamic data too, but no need to save that). The filtering can be for instance to only show the places that belong to a specific category.
