Allow users to sort search results using a combination of distance + date (recentness)

Someone asked for it this way
"The ability to say “show applications < (variable number of months) + < (variable distance) from address” would be amazingly useful. "

and gave an example they considered not useful at the moment
"https://www.planningalerts.org.au/applications/address?q=31+Gaerloch+Ave&sort=time
This address has construction happening currently. If I sort by closest it returns DA’s from 10 years ago.
If I sort by most recent it returns DA’s 2KM away. "
which for sure is a little bit "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." 🎥 🎬
