Hi, I just replace the query\_descriptors.npz in the submission fold which can meet the phase1 requirement, then I submit it in phase2, it returns

```auto
+ [[-f query_descriptors.npz]]
+ [[-f reference_descriptors.npz]]
+ echo 'Validating submission...'
Validating submission...
+ conda run --no-capture-output -n condaenv python /opt/validation.py --query_features query_descriptors.npz --ref_features reference_descriptors.npz --query_metadata /data/query_metadata.csv --ref_metadata /data/reference_metadata.csv

```

I checked that I have sorted the ids in the main.py, could you please take a look?

Hey Zihao-

Can you double check that your submitted `query_descriptors.npz` file contains video IDs in sorted order? Your inference code appears to be generating sorted descriptors in the runtime but your submitted descriptors appear to be out of order.

Thanks,  
Chris

Hi Chris:

Thanks for your advice. I found disorder in my query\_descriptors.npz. Now I’ve successfully submitted it. Before, I thought the mistake was in [main.py](http://main.py)…

Really appreciate it!

Best regards

Zihao
