When companies ask you to write things like a sort function... you know I have to ask... why? I haven't had to do that myself literally ever. Every programming language worth using has a sort function. Even fucking *C* has qsort(). Yes, fucking *C* has a sort function. What the fuck.

True software engineers would say to use the standard library instead of rolling your own.

writingnsort function shows your knowledge.
This means than you not only can call some APIs and use tons of libraries, but write real code...

but what if case they need something that not was done by someone? Sort function can be easily checked. If company asked for something unusual, it would be difficult to check if solution is correct.

fucking C does not have radix/merge/heap sort functions in windows crt and fucking glibc.
Quick sort may be shit in some cases.
Plus some projects required to avoid standard library usage.
