Why is one of the cash register test cases opposite sort

General
1

in the cash register test case for https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures

one of the test cases expects checkCashRegister(3.26, 100, [["PENNY", 1.01], ["NICKEL", 2.05], ["DIME", 3.1], ["QUARTER", 4.25], ["ONE", 90], ["FIVE", 55], ["TEN", 20], ["TWENTY", 60], ["ONE HUNDRED", 100]]) should return {status: "OPEN", change: [["TWENTY", 60], ["TEN", 20], ["FIVE", 15], ["ONE", 1], ["QUARTER", 0.5], ["DIME", 0.2], ["PENNY", 0.04]]}
which means it output is opposite direction of every other test case;
it starts from highest to lowest where every other one is the other way.
i started losing my mind trying to figure out why my code wasnt working when i figured that the test case must be wrong.
please somebody fix it so someone else doesnt lose their sanity too.

It’s not opposite direction

you have two conditions

Return {status: "CLOSED", change: [...]} with cash-in-drawer as the value for the key change if it is equal to the change due.

or

Otherwise, return {status: "OPEN", change: [...]} , with the change due in coins and bills, sorted in highest to lowest order, as the value of the change key.

One says to give back the cid the other the change due in coins and bills, sorted in highest to lowest order
