Sort categories by meta value

This is no solution, just an explanation: WordPress currently doesn’t have taxonomy meta data. You could add a stand alone table to add meta data there.

If you’re in The Loop, for example: <?php if( have_posts() ) : while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // Post stuff // … $cats = wp_get_post_categories( $post->ID ); foreach( … Read more

Logic for Nearby places with post and categories

Could try a plugin called Geo mash up which turns WordPress into a GeoCMS, has nearby functionality built into it and can take long and lang values or addresses from custom fields. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geo-mashup/ and try https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/wiki/TagReference for the references.
