On wordpess how can i show recent posts on sidebar

I have sticky posts on my site and this code doesn't work properly because of them. How can i show only recent posts on sidebar with codes.

<ul><?php $posts=get_posts("numberposts=10&orderby=post_date&order=DESC"); foreach($posts as $post) : ?><li><a href=""><?php the_title(); ?></a></li><?php endforeach; ?></ul>

 

There are two ways for displaying recent post on sidebar 1.By using Coding
2.Using Widgets like add Recent Posts widget to a sidebar.
try with this code :[display-posts posts_per_page="5"image_size="thumbnail"include_excerpt="true"]

 

Try this:

<ul><?php
$args = array('numberposts'=>'10');
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
echo '<li><a href="'. get_permalink($recent["ID"]).'" title="Look '.$recent["post_title"].'" >'. $recent["post_title"].'</a> </li> ';}?></ul>
