title: Select second or third object / element
body: <p>I want to select the second/third/forth object of a <code>Get-ChildItem</code> statement in my PowerShell script. This gives me the first:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$first = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir |
           Sort-Object CreationTime -Descending |
           Select-Object -First 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me the first three:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir |
            Sort-Object CreationTime -Descending |
            Select-Object -First 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to get the second, or the third, or the fourth. (NOT the first two and so on).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way?</p>
