Ha ha. The reason is that SW has so many bugs and/or released versions are annoying is that EVERYTHING is pretty significant.
I'd give NOTHING to going to the public to someone on work experience.
There isn't anything simple about sorting anyway and lots of traps for inexperienced. Don't forget it has to work for non-Roman alphabets, surnames names with spaces, accents. There are libraries. That's the HARDEST bit for new programmers, or experienced ones to a new language. What does the library REALLY do?
