Sorting output by date

Hi all!

Im making a "News"-page at my website and would like to extract the latest news with xslt, and order them by date. How can I do that?
I've tried to do like this:

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1'] [position() < last() - number($count)]">

Where $source is my newsarchive and $count is the number of latest news to pull out.

/Kristian

The sorting can simply be done by doing an xsl:sort right below your for-each (it has to be the first thing after the for-each statement.
```
<xsl:sort select="your_date_property" order="descending"/>
```

A full example, the XSLT for a list of my latest blog posts looks like this:

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="numberOfPosts" select="3"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node //node[@nodeTypeAlias = 'BlogPost']">
<xsl:sort select="@createDate" order="descending" />
    <xsl:if test="position() = 1">
     <h2>Latest blog posts</h2>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= $numberOfPosts">
        <p><a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a></p>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Hi Siva,

You could achieve this by making use of OrderBy and Take. Where you will only display 10 news items and make a sorting out of it.

for e.g
```
foreach(dynamic news in newsFolder.Children.OrderBy("createDate descending").Take(10)){
@news.Name // here am making use of createDate but you can also add a date picker property
}
```
