Do you want employees who when they need to sort something their first thought is "I'll write this from scratch"? Pretty much every language and framework out there has it's own optimized sorting algorithm provided by the standard library of the language. In the rare cases where for whatever reason that isn't the right answer you'd be better off with someone who knows how to properly research a problem and find a solution based on the particulars not repeat some standard line from their University CS classes.
