I'm such an idiot =\ sorry and thank you. Don't know why I convinced myself that it should be sorted...

Hi, let's isolate the issue. The problem is not in your editor or CW, the assert.deepEquals method or the input length. Your code solves a different problem :)

Look at the following case:

var input = "233312"
yourSolution(input) === [ [ '3', 3 ], [ '2', 2 ], [ '1', 1 ] ]
expectedResult      === [ [ '2', 2 ], [ '3', 3 ], [ '1', 1 ] ]

Hint: The description says: "return it as a list of tuples in order of appearance."

I'd be happy to attach a screenshot with the result. It doesn't but I can compare what it's expected with the output I receive in my editor - and they are the same.
All the directions I can get from test error messages show that the output is not sorted: all characters just follow the same sequence as they were in the input data. Which is strange, because I definitely return sorted one, and it is sorted testing in your own editor.
I know, it all seems too presumptuously for a 7 kyu memeber, but I'm just trying to find out what's wrong and I can't

How does your editor know the correct answer?

Yep, passing this input "1175192891585310852643994879501287928505966103527635411078058871457138431587047" for example. we expected [ [ '1', 12 ],
[ '5', 12 ], [ '8', 11 ],
[ '7', 9 ], [ '0', 7 ],
[ '9', 7 ], [ '3', 6 ],
[ '4', 6 ], [ '2', 5 ],
[ '6', 4 ] ] to deeply equal (and got this) [ [ '1', 12 ],
[ '7', 9 ], [ '5', 12 ],
[ '9', 7 ], [ '2', 5 ],
[ '8', 11 ], [ '3', 6 ],
[ '0', 7 ], [ '6', 4 ],
[ '4', 6 ] ]
But if I run the solution in my editor - I get the correct (sorted in descending order) output array. I ran out of ideas what could be wrong :(

if you carefully examine the random test error messages you can figure out how to correct your output based on the directions

Hello! I'm afraid I need help, but I don't want to refer to the solution. Could anyone please point what I'm doing wrong here:

const orderedCount = (text) => {
if (!text || text == '') {
return [];
}
let arr = text.split('');
let obj = {};
let resultArr = [];
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
let counter = 0;
arr.forEach(el => {
if (arr[i] == el) {
counter++;
}
});
obj[arr[i]] = counter;
}
for (p in obj) {
resultArr.push([p, obj[p]]);
}
resultArr = resultArr.sort((a,b)=>{return b[1]-a[1]});
return resultArr;
}

Sample tests were passed successfully, however I constantly receive the error 'to deeply equal' when it comes to long numbers passed as an argument - in such cases the output array isn't sorted for some reason. '212' test is ok. Ofc first I checked it myself with a number from a failed test - got the expected result. Thanks in advance, guys!
