It's not a matter of order; Python simply does not directly allow `else` clauses as part of list comprehensions ([docs](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#displays-for-lists-sets-and-dictionaries)). When we use ```python [num if num != 11 else 22 for num in hand] ``` We are actually using Python's version of the ternary operator; the `if` and `else` are not part of the list comprehension itself but of the comprehension expression. That is, the above is actually ```python [(num if num != 11 else 22) for num in hand] ```
