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 flexible pre written routines to sort 
datasets in the application, and I'm talking really stupid use here - like 
having a small list of items in an array where an array sort could be done, but 
instead writing it all back and reading it again. constantly.
