⚡️ Speed up function sorter by 82%

Here's a highly optimized rewrite of your sorting program, preserving function signature and output format. Your code implements a classic bubble sort (O(n²)). The most optimized, readily available algorithm in Python is Timsort (the default for `list.sort()`), which is much faster for all realistic data sizes.

**I will:**
- Replace the manual O(n²) bubble sort with `arr.sort()` (in-place Timsort, O(n log n)).
- Avoid unnecessary loops/swaps and temporary variables.
- Keep the print statements in exactly the same positions as original.

**Here’s the optimized code:**


**Why this is dramatically faster:**
- `arr.sort()` is written in C, avoids Python-level loops and does not double-scan the list.
- No memory increase: still in-place.
- All prints, input, and output behavior preserved.

**If you must keep bubble sort, an optimized bubble sort could early-exit if no swaps occur (not as fast as Timsort, but faster than naive bubble sort):**



**But for speed, always prefer the first Timsort-based version.**
