1. A method of sorting geo-spatial dependent data using a client wireless component (CWC), said method comprising:
- determining a location of said CWC;
accessing a document database whose datum have a location identifiers; and
sorting said document database in a location-dependent order based on a distance between said location of said CWC and said location identifiers associated with said datum in said document database.
