Yeah, it's a solved problem. I'm going to call the library's default sort and move on. If it somehow is a problem, I'll revisit later.

Now, optimizing database calls, fixing (and avoiding!) security holes, writing tests that don't take forever to run, writing functions so they can be easily re-used later, and not duplicating code. Now there are some skills!

"It's faster if we make a duplicate of this function and change this section, then we can move onto other things"

"No it's much slower, because your code review just came back telling you to throw that idea in the garbage and do it right"
