Adapted from a workaround recently posted by Erland:

ORDER BY
CASE @sort WHEN 0 THEN t2.RANK END,
CASE @sort WHEN 0 THEN t3.RANK END,
CASE @sort WHEN 1 THEN C.title END,
CASE @sort WHEN 2 THEN CEILING( [dbo].[fn_calculateDistance]
( @fromLatitude, @fromLongitude, L.latitude, L.longitude ) ) END,
CASE @sort WHEN 3 THEN C.locality + ' ' + C.state END,
CASE @sort WHEN 4 THEN C.price END

For instance, when @sort = 4, then all formulas except
CASE @sort WHEN 4 THEN C.price END
return NULL and thus have no effect on the sort order.
