Display only limited # of records from dataset

Hi, wix newby here, I’m sure this is very simple but I’ve searched and couldn’t find the answer. I have a dataset of news headlines linked to pdfs, but I only want to display on my webpage the most recent four news headlines. I thought that the ‘# of items to display’ setting in ‘Dataset settings’ would do the trick but it doesn’t work. Then I tried filtering on my ‘date’ field, but it won’t let me filter on date. Appreciate assistance.

If you use a repeater or a table to show your results, then you should be able to limit the number displayed through them already in the Wix Editor.
