gollark: ```pythonfrom typing import List# Sort a list of integersdef entry(data: List[str]): swap = False for i, (one, two) in enumerate(zip(data, data[1:])): if two > one: # Swaps items data[i], data[i + 1] = data[i + 1], data[i] swap = True # Checks if we need to recur if swap: return entry(data) else: return data.reverse() or data```
