CROSS APPLY getting the most recent date
<p>Currently my query is returning three records. The reason for this is that the CRT_STAT table has found 3 matching records. I would like to get the record that has the most recent date. My <code>CRT_STAT</code> table has a column called <code>DISPOSITION_DATE</code>. </p>

<p>I need to add a date check in this part of the query where it selects the most recent date of the group of records it finds (in this case three).</p>

<pre><code>CROSS APPLY (
    SELECT *
    FROM CCH_PUBLIC.dbo.CRT_STAT as crtStat
    WHERE crtStat.TRS_IDN = o.TRS_IDN 
    AND crtSTat.DISPOSITION_DATE ='DATE IS MOST RECENT OF THE THREE RECORDS FOUND'

) crtStat
</code></pre>

<p>What would be the most efficient way of doing this? </p>
