Hello, i’m currently working on my SQL skills, and came across this exercise (dates II)

My solution gave an error, but i don’t see that much of a difference between my solution and the given answer?

My solution:
select count(*) as count_baked_goods
, date(delivery_time)
from baked_goods
group by date(delivery_time)
;

The given answer:
SELECT DATE(delivery_time), count(*) as count_baked_goods
FROM baked_goods
GROUP BY DATE(delivery_time);

both gave the same output btw.

It may be that the result set configured at backend to match would be first the date and then the count columns.
Ideally that how it should be correct visually you need date column first then see what is the count.
