That could mean two things:

(a) draw a line from coordinates (x1,y1) to (x2,y2); define a function
d(K) representing the distance from the line of location K (remembering
that this is _not_ an infinite line and it'll be Pythagorean if the
distance falls outside the endpoints); sort locations by d(K).

(This would be fairly easy.)

(b) assume public transport, get a best route from A to B, and for each
station between them do a concentric search.

(This would be slightly harder.)
