Please allow search results to be sorted by origin of shipping

The search allows me to filter on my location, so I only get results that can ship to me. This is great!

I'd love to see another way to use location which is based on where the product would be shipping from.

Two reasons immediately come to mind: I'd like to prioritize local merchants to support the local economy. Second, with international shipping being slower than normal it is useful for shipping time.

Please allow me to sort based on my location where the senders location nearest me is shown at the top.

Ok I will propose we add two optional fields to listings: ShippingCountryCode and ShippingPostalCode. Clients can then provide this optional data if they want to announce where a product or listing is shipping from.
