Description
Geo3D has a number of distance measurements and a generic way of computing interior distance. It would be great to take advantage of that for queries that return results ordered by interior distance.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing LatLonPointDistanceComparator and LatLonPointSortField entry points, then review the Geo3D distance measurements and generic interior-distance computation described in the issue. The work is complete when Geo3DPoint equivalents support ordering query results by interior distance, with behavior covered by the relevant tests.
