uQuery GetChildMedia filtered query

Questions/Suggestions

I would like to retrieve a list of child media via uQuery, based on a provided Media Type. I have tried a few lambda expressions in my LINQ queries such as

var allItems = downloadsFolder.GetChildMedia().Where(x => (x.GetType().ToString() == "Download")).OrderByDescending(x => x.getProperty("date").Value);

and

var allItems = downloadsFolder.GetChildMedia().Where(x => (x.getProperty("NodeTyleAlias").Value.ToString() == "Download"))

but to no avail. Essentially my issue is that I want to order the results by a custom dataetime property, and if there are standard 'File' media types in the list, the top query errors out with a null ref exception.

Hi Barry,

Does the following work ?

var allItems = downloadsFolder.GetChildMedia()
                              .Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "Download")
                              .OrderByDescending(x => x.GetProperty<DateTime>("date"))
