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

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

            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

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

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

    Edit: make the minute hand shorter to make it worse

    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.
