Answer 1

It should be IEnumerable<IRss>, not IList<IRss>. Or, better yet, use var.

Answer 2

Assuming that the publication date for an individual RSS item is in the property PubDate and Trytable() returns an IEnumerable<IRss>, GetByLatest would look something like this:

public static IEnumerable<IRss> GetByLatest(this IEnumerable<IRss> unsorted)
{
    return from item in unsorted
           orderby item.PubDate descending
           select item;
}
