How to get the most recent date from a table

Question

I have code where I'm querying something from my table which has a property called CreateDate . I just want to get the object with the most recent date. This is what I have:

var post = UnitOfWork.TableName.Query(postFilter);

I tried using a Max function like this:

var post = UnitOfWork.TableName.Query(postFilter).Max(x => x.CreatedDate);

but that returns just the date.

How do I return a whole object that is the most recent?

You have to order by the date and take one:

var post = UnitOfWork.TableName.Query(postFilter)
    .OrderByDescending(x => x.CreatedDate)
    .FirstOrDefault();
