Sort by category, then by price from highest to lowest.

How it's graded

  • Your SQL runs on PostgreSQL 18. Run compares your rows with the expected rows on the sample data; Submit runs it against hidden datasets built to catch the classic mistakes.
  • Stuck? Hints come in four steps, from a nudge to a code skeleton, each costing part of the points.
