Django - storing sortable search results

I have a search function looking for the nearest landmarks based on the user's entered location and radius from location. I want the search results to be able to sort by distance from user's location or by some other metrics I determine. The metrics will come from various tables in my database, but the distance will not because it depends on what the user enters.

I was wondering what is the best way to store all these different sortable values temporarily?

Here's an example of the results

Landmark  |   Distance  |   Metric1   |   Metric2
-------------------------------------------------
Mark1     |     24      |      2      |    3
Mark2     |     13      |      4      |    5 
Mark3     |     4       |      6      |    8

Landmark, Metric1, and Metric2 will all come from a database. Distance will be generated at the search results page. Distance, Metric1, and Metric2 will be sortable.

I'm not sure what kind of storing you need, but if you only want it temporarily that seems like you may want to use a cache. We use Django for our project and use Redis as a cache backend. There are several projects that make it easy to integrate, we use:
