I'm trying to pull the latest 5 articles from the news section and then sort them by the article date.

I've managed to get the 5 articles and display them ok, but the OrderBy is not working as expected. I need to sort them by a property on the node called "NewsDate" which is a date picker.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var currentNode = Node.GetCurrent();
            var nodeTypeAlias = currentNode.NodeTypeAlias;

            if (nodeTypeAlias == "NewsMasterPage")
            {
                var nodes = FindChildren(currentNode, t => t.NodeTypeAlias.Equals("NewsArticle"));
                var nodesOutput = nodes.OrderBy(n => n.GetProperty("NewsDate"));
                                
                newsRepeater.DataSource = nodesOutput;
                newsRepeater.DataBind();
            }
            
        }

        private static List<Node> FindChildren(Node currentNode, Func<Node, bool> predicate)
        {
            List<Node> result = new List<Node>();

            var nodes = currentNode
                .Children
                .OfType<Node>()
                .Where(predicate).Take(4);
            if (nodes.Count() != 0)
                result.AddRange(nodes);

            foreach (var child in currentNode.Children.OfType<Node>())
            {
                nodes = FindChildren(child, predicate);
                if (nodes.Count() != 0)
                    result.AddRange(nodes);
            }
            return result;
        }
