Best way to get three/four/five closest positions from an array? - Puppy - 21.12.2017

Working on a system that involves getting the three or so closest object positions from quite a large array, in comparison to a specific player. Keep in mind they not only have to be closest, but fit within a general range in categorization.

So:

• Last object/position set: somewhere around 8000 - 10000 meters from player.
• Third object: somewhere around 6000 - 8000 meters from player.
• Second object: somewhere around 4000 - 6000 meters from player.
• First object: anything BELOW 4000.

Any ideas on the most efficient way to accomplish this? I've thought of a few ways to do this, but I'm sure they're not the best methods. Thoughts?
