Makes me wonder if there’s an equivalent of /r/BadUXBattles loved that Reddit
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, maybe I’ll implement the roman numerals preset next 🤣
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, 1That depends on language
Thanks, 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.
This is why the military uses 03 hundred hours… Makes things clear, and sortable regardless of your algorithm
Sure. No one ever in this entire world ever did a int(“0200”), because it is insane to represent numbers as actual numbers. I am so glad that military invented a standard working with any algorithm.
I mean, I hear you, but to be fair, I think the military has been using that kind of a timing convention since before computing even really existed.
… We did more or less invent modern computers, initially, to compute artillery ranging tables.
I’m pretty sure that predates even the concept of … a string vs int data type.
Isn’t it ascending? Alphabetically I mean.
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.

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!
You mean I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XII
