Since Arma 3 v1.66 the default sorting is done according to 3D distance not distance2D as before. This is an attempt to correct some very old bug in implementation.

Be aware that some terrain objects types might be tricky to be found, such as terrain rocks and boulders which are not considered to be "ROCKS" or "ROCK", but "HIDE". Example: nearestTerrainObjects [player, ["HIDE"], 20]; // [939688: bluntstone_01.p3d,939691: garbagebags_f.p3d,939671: wreck_car_f.p3d,939692: junkpile_f.p3d]

Large bridges are map type "ROAD". Small foot bridges are not roads and not included into road net.
