Hi Carl,
You can use an XSL sort at the point you apply-templates for
"newsbodytext" to sort based on date. Part of the advantage of using
a navigation file for this is overall better performance, especially
if you get to the point where you're trying to pick the 5 most recent
out of hundreds.
Cheers,
Alex
