China is wrongly arranged

Question

To get the leaderboard, I fetch the first 10 countries in the response, that are already arranged in a descending order, but now, China is put at the end of the response, therefore, it can no longer be included in the leaderboards. Please fix the bug.

This has been this way for a while. I sort the results before using them as you can't rely on the order.

The (cases_by_country) is actually returning descendingly-ordered results: https://pastebin.com/YVyu9vFb
Ignoring the first line, which is a bug as it returns a value of country_name: "", the other values are arranged descendingly as you can see in the link, and then at the end, you can see China (out of order) - This was to just explain the problem.

But yes, I would like to see ordered results for leaderboard (P.S: It already exists but it has a small bug, 1st value and China's arrangement)

Thanks!

We don't use any sorting, order is random. You need ordered results?
