Swift Firebase - Sort Array By Distance from User

Question

I am trying to sort my places by distance from the user. I know how to accomplish this with MKMapItems, yet with my firebase call setup I am unsure how to accomplish this. I have been trying to follow this answer: Swift - Sorting by Nearest Location from Data pulled from Firebase DB yet no luck. I don't know if I will have to change my whole setup or maybe I am just overthinking this?

import UIKit
import Firebase
import MapKit

class RegisteredLocationsTableView: UITableViewController, UISearchResultsUpdating, CLLocationManagerDelegate, NSUserActivityDelegate {

@IBOutlet var followUsersTableView: UITableView!
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)

var loggedInUser:FIRUser?
var loggedInUserData:NSDictionary?
var usersArray = [NSDictionary?]()
var filteredUsers = [NSDictionary?]()

var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
let distanceFormatter = MKDistanceFormatter()
var locationData: NSDictionary?
var geofences = [CLCircularRegion]()
var nameKeyDict:[String:String] = [:]

var databaseRef = FIRDatabase.database().reference()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    searchController.searchResultsUpdater = self
    searchController.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = false
    definesPresentationContext = true
    tableView.tableHeaderView = searchController.searchBar

    locationManager.delegate = self
    locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
    locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()


    databaseRef.child("Businesses").queryOrdered(byChild: "businessName").observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in

        let key = snapshot.key
        let snapshot = snapshot.value as? NSDictionary


        snapshot?.setValue(key, forKey: "uid")

        if(key == self.loggedInUser?.uid) {
            print("Same as logged in user, so don't show!")
        } else {
            self.usersArray.append(snapshot)

            //insert the rows
            self.followUsersTableView.insertRows(at: [IndexPath(row:self.usersArray.count-1,section:0)], with: UITableViewRowAnimation.automatic)
        }

    }) { (error) in
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
