System.Linq.Queryable.TakeLast() could not be translated.

Hello,

I have the following code:

Context.ApplicationVersions.OrderBy(x => x.ReleaseDate).TakeLast(versionsToRemoveCount).ToList();

The code throws an exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'The LINQ expression 'DbSet()
.OrderBy(x => x.ReleaseDate)
.TakeLast(__p_0)' could not be translated. Either rewrite the query in a form that can be translated, or switch to client evaluation explicitly by inserting a call to 'AsEnumerable', 'AsAsyncEnumerable', 'ToList', or 'ToListAsync'.

When I change the code to:

Context.ApplicationVersions.OrderByDescending(x => x.ReleaseDate).Take(versionsToRemoveCount).ToList();

everything works fine.

Data info:
ReleaseDate is type of DateTime, versionsToRemoveCount is type of Int32.

I am not sure if this behavior is correct or it is a bug.
Please take a look into it. Thank you!
