    I’m more bothered by the hour and minute hands having the same length.

    Edit: make the minute hand shorter to make it worse

    Maybe it’s just too late and I’m too tired… but how is this DESC?

      It’s either extremely successful ragebait, or op thinks “desc” means “sort as a string”

      It has ORDER BY Hour DESC, results placed anticlockwise?

        But… why would you place them anticlockwise when the hands move in a clockwise direction

          Why would it have them in descending order in the first place? Nothing of this makes sense!

            Probably to make them appear right in clockwise order! Sometimes two wrongs make a right. Except when lexical ordering is used.

        Isn’t the word counter-clockwise?

          It’s an American/British English difference

    No need for -n -r flags on the sort, looks good.

    I work with a Data Warehouse that has a date table where the month is a text column. No, I don’t mean the name, I mean the month number. It’s a text. If I sort by month, I get this exact result.

    It’s not a huge issue, really, but pissed me off when I finally realised why my shit looks all wrong.
