Reference solution
The shape we check against. Compare it with your query: the set of rows matters, the formatting does not.
SELECT status, COUNT(*) AS order_count FROM orders GROUP BY status ORDER BY order_count DESC;
Return each order status and the number of orders with that status, aliased as order_count. Sort by order_count descending.
