Select the closest item based on date?

I have a collection of items, and i need to single out one item that has the closest date to the current date (in the future, not in the past). All this in xslt 1.0. Any suggestion开发者_如何学运维s to how this could be done?

Brother, this is what you can do:

List<Item> itemList = new List<Item>();
itemList = Sitecore.Context.Item.Axes.GetDescendants().ToList<Item>();
itemList = itemList.OrderByDescending(c => c.Statistics.Created.Date).ToList<Item>();

Where itemList is obviously the list you want to sort. Good luck!

And then i found out you're asking it to be XSL :):

<xsl:for-each select="item">
<xsl:sort select="sc:fld(__created,.)" />

More reference here at John West blog.

advise: The more complicated things you want to do in renderings the more you should consider to be using Sublayouts instead of XSL.

But good luck again!
