hi, i've got it this far now. but it doesnt like the q.address.lat/lon
since it makes an alias in the join. how to i get at that alias?
sajoin = q.join_to('address')
sorder = "ABS(" + str(q.address.lat) +" - %f) + ABS(" +
str(q.address.lon) +" - %f)"
sorder %= (lat,lon)
return q.select(
sajoin
,order_by=asc(sorder)
,limit=800
)
