Somebody used the wrong data type for the Hour column…
There are no wrong data types in javascript :D

Now do a clock version of the weird American date format, mm/dd/yyyy? Maybe it has to be digital?
mm:ss:hh? But obviously dont use 24h
Because an image is a bit to lazy IMHO for “prgrammer” humor. I programmed a clock that actually works. Have fun 🤣

Btw: you can change the order of the clock-face if you want.
Update: Supports arbitrary text now (example roman numerals): https://jsfiddle.net/2o97k6vz/6/
Update: And with Months because why not 🤣 https://jsfiddle.net/2o97k6vz/7/
Your clock goes backwards.
That’s intended. Look at the second hand for a minute. It goes 1, 2, 3, etc. like on a real clock but the numbers are distributed differently. That’s also why the hands sometimes have to move faster to reach their target in time. It goes (backwards) if it’s closer.
Still way better than the best LLMs can do
Kimi and Deepseek both seem to do a decent job.Something funky is going on. They’re somewhat random each time I refresh. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.
Click on the question mark for an explanation
Order by string desc would be Z-A ordering, or 9-0
ORDER BY str(Hour) DESC: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 12, 11, 10, 1ORDER BY int(Hour) DESC: 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1Thanks, I hate it.
Came to the comments to add exactly this. Am I predictable, or is this just the natural reaction to this image?
Yes.
It is, I wanted to post this exact comment, too.
You mean I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XII

It’s usually
IIIIon clocksDepends on where and when it’s from, it’s rare where I live. Also, makes no difference in terms of alphabetical sorting.
It would, if it were:
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Also, if
IXended up beingVIIII, it would end up sorting in numerical order.True!
I wonder how it would look with excel sort
Probably a bunch of error messages relating to improperly executed macro scripts, failed external api calls, and maybe copilot demanding you put all your documents into one drive… and also somehow the same ‘hey, do you have a moment?’ Teams message from one person, but somehow on 2 or 3 different versions of Teams, simultaneously.
Print that header onto the dial in a monospace font and you’ve got yourself an extremely marketable product. Perfect thing to bring to a white elephant gift exchange at an IT Company!
