Filtering blog by date

I am having problems trying to filter blog posts by date.

To give a simple example:

async function getStories ( ) {
let results = await wixData . query ( “Blog/Posts” )
. include ( “categories” )
. limit ( 100 )
. descending ( “publishedDate” )
. find ();
let items = results . items ;
while ( results . hasNext ()) {
results = await results . next ();
items = items . concat ( results . items );
}
console . log ( items . length );
}

the above code logs 658 (the number of posts in my blog)

but if I add a date filter:

async function getStories ( ) {
var Today = new Date ();
let results = await wixData . query ( “Blog/Posts” )
. include ( “categories” )
. limit ( 100 )
. descending ( “publishedDate” )
.l t ( “publishedDate” , Today )
. find ();
let items = results . items ;

**while**  ( results . hasNext ()) { 
    results  =  **await**  results . next (); 
    items  =  items . concat ( results . items ); 
    } 
console . log ( items . length );

}

it returns 0. If I replace the .lt with .gt it still returns 0.

Is there a solution to this problem?
Thank you.
