Is there a way to get one entry from a structured content without running though all entries?

e.g. i have 7 entries in my structure and i just want to echo the 6th entry’s content.

There’s the `nth()` function: [https://getkirby.com/docs/toolkit/api/collection/nth](https://getkirby.com/docs/toolkit/api/collection/nth)

So you can simply do something like that:

```
<?= $page->structurefield()->toStructure()->nth(6)->name() ?>
```

great,i have known about the nth() function, but i didn’t think it’ll work with toStructure as well, fantastic, works like a charm 🙂
