How to pull oldest age value from list and set to variable?

Hello,

I have a list that represent a conveyors contents, I need to assign the age of the oldest item in the list to a variable within process flow. How would I be able to pull this value individually from the list? the purpose of this variable is to view all the conveyors oldest item and decide which route to take. I tried to use max but it chooses a static max value rather than the current max.

Thank!

You can add a clause in your pull string, which orders your values by a column field in ascending order.
