Sort by ID with lastn

I wanted to sort thumbnail include at top of pho to show most recently added rather than by date, since I regularly back-date posts.

The first thing I tried was sticking sort_by="id". That didn't work for me, but word on the street is that's because I want a specific, non-default number of entries shown, so need my lastn. If you're good with the default, it should be fine for you.

Maddy pointed me to a very similar question (I'm working on those search skills), where I found Brenna Koch's solution.
