In some places I agree it's totally valid, but in a lot of cases here it's just unnecessary. They have a set of really
flexiblepre written routines to sort datasets in the application, and I'm talking really stupid use here - like having
asmall list of items in an array where an array sort could be done, but instead writing it all back and reading it
again.constantly.
