Sort-Object 'Top' parameter in powershell version 5

Question

Dear All,
I am having a problem with following command when working with powershell in version 5:

$Folder = "C:\Temp"
Get-ChildItem $folder | Sort-Object -Descending -Property LastWriteTime -Top 1 

Below error message that i am receiving:

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Top'

Any hints how to overcome this issue?
Regards,
Lukas

Answer 1

Use Select-Object on the result of the Sort-Object.

$Folder = "C:\Temp"
Get-ChildItem $folder | 
    Sort-Object -Descending -Property LastWriteTime |
        Select-Object -First 1

Hello @Lukas Piech

Never used -Top parameter before. I always use "-First" to show the top results. Have you tried:

 $Folder = "C:\Temp"  
 Get-ChildItem $folder | Sort-Object -Descending -Property LastWriteTime -First 1   

Hope this helps,
Regards,
