Hi Høgni,

You can do it by using XSLT or Razor.

In XSLT you could do something like this:

<ul>
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/News">
        <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= 10">
            <xsl:sort select="@createDate" order="descending"/>
            <li>
              <xsl:value-of select="./@nodeName"/>
            </li>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
</ul>

Or you could do it Razor:

And I think something like the should work for you: If your are using Razor macro scripts and Master pages, and not MVC.

<ul>
 @foreach (var item in Model.News.Where("Visible").OrderBy("Name desc").Take(10)){
  <li>
   <ahref="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
  </li>
}
</ul>

I hope this can help you further.

Hi Høgni,

Okay here is an example of how you could do it. I have just taking it from my Umbraco certification Umbraco installation.

So create a scripting file cshtml in with an associated Maco in the developer section, make your modifications to the code, so it fetch your document type called News. And then insert the macro in the template where all news to display
```
<ul>
    @foreach (var item in Model.NewsItems.Where("Visible").OrderBy("CreateDate desc").Take(10)){
        <li>
            <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
        </li>
    }
</ul>
```
And in my case the document type is called NewsItem. This is an example should work if you not running MVC.
