Hi all,

I am trying to display the last 5 news items. I can't manage to make it perform. Using DescendantContent on the root node (which I get by id, as I don't know any other way), the code below takes more than a second to run. 

@{
    var rootNode = Hive.Content.GetById("35a2c47081bd45a4bcbd9fe400ccabb0");
    var actueelItems = rootNode.DescendantContent().Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "actueelItem").OrderByDescending(x => x.SortOrder).Take(5);
    var actueelList = actueelItems.ToList();
    if (actueelItems.Any())
    {
        <div class="greenBlock secondBlock leftCornerGreen actueel fixedHeightBlock">
            <h2 class="DIN">Actueel</h2>
            <table>
                <tbody>
                    @foreach (var item in actueelItems)
                    {
                        var bentItem = item.Bend();
                        <tr>
                            <td class="datum">@bentItem.PublishingDate.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")</td>
                            <td class="actueel-item"><a href="@Umbraco.GetUrl(@item)">@item.Name</a></td>
                        </tr>
                    }
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </div>
    }
}

I have tried to use the following line, only the resulting items don't have any properties such as Name or PublishingDate, and are not ordered or limited  yet. 

var actueelItems = rootNode.Children().Where("ContentTypeAlias == @0", "actueelItem");

How can I get the newest 5 content items of a certain content type anywhere in the tree (or in a specific node) in such a way that it performs, as well as contains the data accessible using the dot operator (item.PublishingDate)?
