Tell us what’s happening:

The instructions for this step are misleading. The introduction of the .sort() method implies that using .sort() without any parameters is always incorrect, and that the baseline should always be .sort((a, b) => a - b) and then adding any modifiers from there. Using that logic, the solution that seems to be required looks something like this:

const shuffle = () => {
  userData?.songs.sort((a, b) => a - b + Math.random() - 0.5)
};

where the actual solution requires that you do not specify parameters like this.

const shuffle = () => {
  userData?.songs.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5)
};

I think delaying the information about specifying parameters for the sort method to a later step would help clear up any confusion.
