Not really a problem, just a user experience suggestion.
I was doing the spreadsheet project in Javascript and encountered steps that required understanding regex terminology like ‘character class’ and ‘capture groups’. I skipped ahead to the guided project on regex expressions and now can move forward with the spreadsheet project. Not hard to do, but I thought the regex project could easily come before the spreadsheet project and then there wouldn’t be as much confusion in the spreadsheet project.
Cheers

scope: curriculum
new javascript course
### Describe the Issue
Is it possible that the new Beta Javascript curriculum i… s out of order at one particular place? I am at the “Learn…While Building a Spreadsheet” part of the curriculum and it seems to be asking me to implement RegEx in ways we haven’t explored at all up to this point (unless I am overlooking something). I see, though, that the next task/exercise is “Learn RegEx…”
Was this an oversight? Or have I missed something?

### Your code
```
//??//
```
### Expected behavior
As noted in description, it doesn't seem like we have learned this much RegEx in the course up to this point. I wondered if these exercises were placed out of order as RegEx is explored in more depth in the next exercise.
