What's amazing to me is that sorting is still an open problem with active research producing new algorithms. It gets really tricky when you want to use parallel architectures to speed it up. Case in point: ips4o, https://github.com/SaschaWitt/ips4o

So is printing floating point numbers: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~lerner/papers/fp-printing-popl16.pd.... That paper was published in POPL -- one of the most distinguished conferences in all of CS.
