Godot - Sort group nodes by distance

Godot

This is how to sort group nodes by distance in order using GDScript in Godot 4.


I created a sort_group_nearest() using sort_custom() to sort group nodes in order of distance.

sort_group_nearest() has the following characteristics:
- Specify any group name as an argument
- Returns nodes sorted by distance from itself

func sort_group_by_nearest(group):
	var nodes = get_tree().get_nodes_in_group(group)
	nodes.sort_custom(func(a, b): 
		return a.global_position.distance_to(global_position) < b.global_position.distance_to(global_position)
	)
	return nodes


func _ready():
	var enemies = sort_group_by_nearest("enemies")
