Description:
|gr1= Positions
Function to find the nearest Object or position from a list,
when compared to a given Object or position.


Parameter(s):
|descr= Function to find the nearest Object or position from a list, when compared to a given reference.
_this select 0: Array of Objects, Locations, Groups, markers (String) and / or positions (Array)
_this select 1: Comparator Object, Location, Group, marker (String) or position (Array)
Notes:
[*] For type Group the position of its leader is used.
Returns:
