How to get the most recent Weight entry from HealthKit data

Question

How can I get the most recent weight entry from healthkit data?

My code is only returning the first weight entry ever recorded.

Is is possible to get only the last entry recorded without specifying a date range?

Here is my code that gets the first entry:

class HealthStore {

    private let healthStore = HKHealthStore()
    private let bodyMassType = HKSampleType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .bodyMass)!

    func authorizeHealthKit(completion: @escaping ((_ success: Bool, _ error: Error?) -> Void)) {

        if !HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable() {
            return
        }

        let readDataTypes: Set<HKSampleType> = [bodyMassType]

        healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: nil, read: readDataTypes) { (success, error) in
            completion(success, error)
        }

    }


    //returns the weight entry in Kilos or nil if no data
    func bodyMassKg(completion: @escaping ((_ bodyMass: Double?, _ date: Date?) -> Void)) {

        let query = HKSampleQuery(sampleType: bodyMassType, predicate: nil, limit: 1, sortDescriptors: nil) { (query, results, error) in
            if let result = results?.first as? HKQuantitySample {
                let bodyMassKg = result.quantity.doubleValue(for: HKUnit.gramUnit(with: .kilo))
                completion(bodyMassKg, result.endDate)
                return
            }

            //no data
            completion(nil, nil)
        }
        healthStore.execute(query)
    }

}

To get the weight entry from health kit:

healthstore.authorizeHealthKit { (success, error) in
    if success {

        //get weight
        self.healthstore.bodyMass(completion: { (bodyMass, bodyMassDate) in
            if bodyMass != nil {
                print("bodyMass: \(bodyMass)   date: \(bodyMassDate)")
            }
        })

    }
}

Thanks to @Allan answer, I return the last recorded entry by specifying a sortDescriptor:

    let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: HKSampleSortIdentifierStartDate, ascending: false)

    let query = HKSampleQuery(sampleType: bodyMassType, predicate: nil, limit: 1, sortDescriptors: [sortDescriptor]) { (query, results, error) in
        ...
    }

Your query currently doesn't specify any sort descriptors. You'll need to specify sort descriptors in order to get the query results in the order you expect. You can read more about them in the HKSampleQuery documentation.
