Details here

I was saving data in weaviate cloud and one of the property is created\_at of date type.

I want to fetch recent created\_at files sorted in desc of limit 10.

I am uing weaviate 3.6.2 in Nodejs TS/JS

```
        const result = await myCollection.query.fetchObjects({
            // Use Sort.byProperty() to create the sorting object
            sort: {
                byProperty: 'name', // The property you want to sort by
                order: 'Asc' // The order: 'Asc' or 'Desc'
              }
          });

```

I am not able to figure it out and getting errors.
