I'm using this to get the newest item. How can I get this to be null safe and sort with null dates last (oldest). createDt is a joda LocalDate object.
Optional latestItem = items.stream()
.sorted((e1, e2) -> e2.getCreateDt().compareTo(e1.getCreateDt()))
.findFirst();

If it's the Items that may be null, use @rgettman's solution.
If it's the LocalDates that may be null, use this:
items.stream()
.sorted(Comparator.comparing(Item::getCreateDt, Comparator.nullsLast(Comparator.reverseOrder())));
In either case, note that sorted().findFirst() is likely to be inefficient as most standard implementations sort the entire stream first. You should use Stream.min instead.
