I need to check if my linestring or part of my linestring falls within or intersects my circle with a given radius.

**Mapping:** Its a lineString type with two coordinates (start and end). Say a long road,

> ```
> "geometry": {
> "type": "geo_shape",
> "tree": "quadtree"
> }
> 
> ```

I have a lat,lon and a radius.

**Query:** I need to check whether this lineString lies within or intersects my circle.  
**Further Query** : I have many such lineStrings and need to get it sorted from the nearest line.

Can anyone please help me here ?
