    Idk to me the top position is index 0, even though it’s labeled 12.

    Think about it this way: when a new day begins, where are the clock hands?

      Indeed, which is why 8 should be at the top.

      The hours have been reassigned in reverse alphabetical order. This means the number which you hit at noon/midnight is “eight”.

        Except this is order by DESC, so the ‘lowest’ value (Two) goes on index zero, the second lowest (Twelve) goes on index 1, etc.

          But that’s not how clocks work - when the day starts on a normal clock it’s not 1 o’clock straight away, there’s an hour that happens first. The label is at the end of the hour’s segment.

          Think about it this way: when a new day begins, where are the clock hands?

          I did, the hour hand would be pointing at the (end of the) final hour, which is now eight. The minute hand’s position is a whole different discussion.
