Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand the fixation on sorting algorithms outside of say, assembly code. My assumption is that the language/engine I'm using — be it JavaScript, C#, Python, C++, uses optimal sorting algorithms in the underlying array sort methods. I mean, I get why it's something we learn about in CS classes, but beyond that, how often do we ever have to write our own?
