This is true but it's also why using the outline version of
eldest/youngest makes the most sense. If you want to pull the oldest
chronological item, set your container to auto-sort by creation date in
reverse. Then the first child will also be the chronological eldest. If
you'd rather than the eldest were the chronological youngest or the
alphanumerically highest, you can do the same thing.
