How to get the last uploaded file in a collection?

[MCKLtech]

My understanding is that getFirstMedia will return the first item in the Media Collection, but I assume this is not always the latest item added to that collection.

Is the filter variable documented anywhere? Or is there an out of the box function to get the latest uploaded file to a given collection?

	public function getFirstMedia(string $collectionName = 'default', $filters = []): ?Media
	{
	$media = $this->getMedia($collectionName, $filters);
	return $media->first();
	}

Make your own trait, with your own logic

public function getLastMedia(string $collectionName = 'default', $filters = []): ?Media 
 { 
     $media = $this->getMedia($collectionName, $filters); 
  
     return $media->last(); 
 } 
public function getLatestMedia(string $collectionName = 'default', $filters = []): ?Media 
 { 
     $media = $this->getMedia($collectionName, $filters); 
  
     return $media->sortBy('created_at')->values()->last(); 
 }

Oh my, that was obvious. What was I thinking! Thank you.

@freekmurze , might be a good addition to the library?
