Symfony2, Doctrine search and order by distance

I have a database of places which I store the latitude and longitude for. I want to query the database to find all places within a radius ($requestedDistance) of a specific latitude ($latitude) and longitude ($longitude).

The below query works and returns only those places within this radius, however how would I order them by distance so the closest is first? In the past, using raw SQL I have done the calculation within the SELECT statement and set it as 'distance' and then used HAVING distance < $requestedDistance ORDER BY distance, however I'm not sure how to add the calculation to the SELECT query using Doctrine Repository.

$d = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('XXXWebsiteBundle:Locations')->createQueryBuilder('l');
        $d
            ->add('where','l.enabled = 1')
            ->andWhere('( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('.$latitude.') )
                * cos( radians( l.latitude ) )
                * cos( radians( l.longitude )
                - radians('.$longitude.') )
                + sin( radians('.$latitude.') )
                * sin( radians( l.latitude ) ) ) ) < '.$requestedDistance);

       $result= $d->getQuery();

UPDATE

I've tried the following query thanks to @Lazy Ants:

$d = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('XXXWebsiteBundle:Locations')->createQueryBuilder('l');
    $d
        ->select('l')
        ->addSelect(
            '( 3959 * acos(cos(radians(' . $latitude . '))' .
                '* cos( radians( l.latitude ) )' .
                '* cos( radians( l.longitude )' .
                '- radians(' . $longitude . ') )' .
                '+ sin( radians(' . $latitude . ') )' .
                '* sin( radians( l.latitude ) ) ) ) as distance'
        )
        ->andWhere('l.enabled = :enabled')
        ->setParameter('enabled', 1)
        ->andWhere('distance < :distance')
        ->setParameter('distance', $requestedDistance)
        ->orderBy('distance', 'ASC');

However, it returns the following error:

`An exception occurred while executing 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS dctrn_count FROM
