I work with a Data Warehouse that has a date table where the month is a text column. No, I don’t mean the name, I mean the month number. It’s a text. If I sort by month, I get this exact result.
It’s not a huge issue, really, but pissed me off when I finally realised why my shit looks all wrong.

Maybe it’s just too late and I’m too tired… but how is this DESC?

But… why would you place them anticlockwise when the hands move in a clockwise direction

Probably to make them appear right in clockwise order! Sometimes two wrongs make a right. Except when lexical ordering is used.
Isn’t the word counter-clockwise?
It’s an American/British English difference

You can learn something new every day.
It’s either extremely successful ragebait, or op thinks “desc” means “sort as a string”
Thanks, I hate it. I hate it BECAUSE I get it, to be clear. F’ing digits …
It makes so much more sense this way.
I’m more bothered by the hour and minute hands having the same length.
Edit: make the minute hand shorter to make it worse
Duodecimal clock > this. See you at B:00
You sick son of a bitch.
