Get-VBRRestorePoint - Most recent replica

[dcd62]

I'm scripting the permanent failover and want to commit the most recent snapshot. The example I found in the helpcenter shows:
PS C:\PS> Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "WebServer_replica" | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1 | Start-VBRViReplicaFailover -Reason "Configuration recovery" -RunAsync -Definite

If I run the Get-VBRRestorePoint command just to list the most recent replica with the "-First" switch, an older replica than if I use the "-Last" switch.
Which should give me the most recent replica?
thanks

PS C:\Users> Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $VM | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1
VM Name Creation Time Type Failoved
------- ------------- ---- --------

PS C:\Users> Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $VM | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -Last 1
VM Name Creation Time Type Failoved
------- ------------- ---- --------
VEEAMTEST01 4/26/2016 9:24:41 PM Snapshot

Generally speaking, in the provided example the last restore point should be returned by combination of -descending and -first 1 parameters.

What happens if you change the syntax slightly:

Either this:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $VM | Sort-Object {$_.creationtime} -Descending | Select -First 1

or this way:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $VM | Sort-Object creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1

Will the code still report an incorrect point?

Thanks.
