SELECT * FROM actors ORDER BY name DESC; does not pass the first challenge. What's more - the results seem to be different every time I submit the same answer.
What may be the reason for such a situation?

Please contact support (link on the right) and let them know about this issue. Link them the challenge itself and this forum question. Hopefully someone will take care of that. I will tag Chalkers just in case, maybe he can shed some light on the problem. Andrew Chalkley

Treehouse TeacherIn the last 48 hours, we moved our code challenge tests to new hardware, and that seems to have caused a problem with our SQL-based challenges. We've just deployed a fix to our challenge testing code that should have everything working normally again.
Please let us know if you continue having trouble!
