Sorta.
Kinda.
Quicksort is the algorithm that introductory CS will point you to.
If you want to build code that is life safety critical, say for automotive or aviation, you should not use recursion. You want to have bounded stack consumption. Lower teaching methods that you get in introductory CS can kill people.
