fn compareDistance obj1 obj2 = 
(
	if ((distance obj1 objhelper)>(distance obj2 objhelper) ) then 
		return 1
	else
		if ((distance obj1 objhelper)<(distance obj2 objhelper) ) then

don’t use return to break a condition in mxs function.
but much faster sort algorithm could be:

collect node’s id(index) in list, and its distance to the helper as point2 item

qsort by second component
