Okay, this is the last chance to come-up with a name other than
sorted().

Here are some alternatives:

  inlinesort()   # immediately clear how it is different from sort()
  sortedcopy()   # clear that it makes a copy and does a sort
  newsorted()    # appropriate for a class method constructor

I especially like the last one and all of them provide a distinction
from list.sort().
