⚡️ Speed up function sorter by 354,543%
The current implementation of `sorter` is using a bubble sort algorithm, which has a time complexity of \(O(n^2)\). We can optimize this by using a more efficient sorting algorithm like Timsort, which is the default sorting algorithm in Python's `sort()` method and has a time complexity of \(O(n \log n)\). This implementation leverages Python's built-in `sort()` method, which is much faster than the bubble sort, especially for large lists. The functionality and the output of the function remain the same.
