Note that "order of" is already provided as part of the answer. Then, the quiz is just looking for you to supply the next word, or simply "magnitude". Perhaps it should accept both that and "magnitude of complexity" as correct.

You may want to make a bug report as described on the Support page. If the staff agrees, and you're the first to report it, it should get you the special Exterminator badge. :beetle:
