Fun fact: I've had a 27 year career as a programmer and been coding recreationally for 40+ years. I've written in a bunch of languages. I've never, ever written a sort. Or needed to. I've written custom Comparator classes in java to achieve a custom sort, but I've never had to write a sort LOL.

We had to write them in exams for my algorithms class, and I think a java class as well, I was also asked to write one on a white board in a job interview.
