⚡️ Speed up function sorter by 42,381%
Your initial implementation of the `sorter` function uses bubble sort, which is not the most efficient sorting algorithm. We can improve the performance by using Python's built-in sorting function, which uses Timsort (a hybrid sorting algorithm derived from merge sort and insertion sort). The built-in `sort()` method is optimized and runs in O(n log n) time complexity, making the function significantly faster for large lists compared to the O(n^2) time complexity of bubble sort.
