⚡️ Speed up function sorter by 39,930%
The original code uses a basic bubble sort, which has a time complexity of \(O(n^2)\). A more efficient sorting algorithm, such as Timsort (used internally by Python's built-in `sort` function), can improve the performance significantly. Below is the optimized version of the program. This version leverages Python's built-in `sort` function, which is highly optimized and runs with an average complexity of \(O(n \log n)\), making it much faster for larger lists.
