Order "actors" by "name" in reversed alphabetical order.

Hi,

I am stack on this code challenge.

This is my query:

SELECT * FROM actors ORDER BY name DESC;

When I press "enter" It tells me that my result is in the wrong order.

I tried this query:

SELECT * FROM actors ORDER BY name ASC;

Same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Your query looks correct to me, maybe it's a problem with the code challenge itself. Was having some issues with PHP code challenges recently, maybe it's a general problem they need to look into.

It passed now, even that I didn't change anything. It is a code challenge problem. Any idea how to report about it?

Here too, giving the same answer as yourself and confused as to why it isn't working! Maybe we should email support?

Used Chrome Canary and seemed to work, had issues when Ad Block Pro caused issues in the past, so this may be something for people to check!

I'm having the same issue, only I haven't been able to get it to pass on Chrome or Firefox. Going to email support so hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Still an issue. I just tried it a few times and eventually it passed... (using Chrome)
