Can anyone please explain this entire lesson in simple words.? Everything is going over my head. I can't catch Alena. Specifically the logic behind adding 12 at the end of the lesson.
I really need to understand what does Alena Holligan is trying to convey/teach.?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,877 Pointsshe is looping through the array and ordering the items by date, if the item does not have a date it is ordered by priority. She doesnt want the items with blank dates listed before the items with dates so she sets the priority ordered items to +12 because that will ensure they are always listed after the dates(12 months in a year so the blank items priority interger + 12 will always come after a date restricted to just 12 months)
