Umbraco 7: change sort order for Blog Overview in Starter Kit

I am using Umbraco 7 on our guinea pigs' website. The blog overview page is sorting the oldest first and you have to scroll down to get newer ones, which is not what I (or anyone for that matter) want. Code is:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

<div role="content">

<section class="light blogarchive equalizer">
    <div class="container">

        <div class="row">
            @foreach(var post in CurrentPage.Children) 
            {
                <div class="col-sm-6">
                    <div class="content equal">
                        <a href="@post.Url">
                            <div class="date">@post.CreateDate.ToLongDateString()</div>
                            <h2>@post.Name</h2>     
                            <p>@Umbraco.Truncate(post.Introduction, 240, true)</p>
                        </a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            }
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

</div>

But I know Umbraco has their own flavor of everything under the sun .NET in their code so, I had tried LINQing in there to no avail.

I bet it's something so simple. I just want to sort by the CreatedDate or PublishDate (not sure what's available) descending

got it:

@foreach(var post in CurrentPage.Children.OrderBy("CreateDate desc"))

Like I said, Umbraco has it's own flavor of everything, even LINQ-ish...
