The given code is implementing the bubble sort algorithm, which is not optimal for sorting. We can significantly increase the speed of this function by switching to a more efficient sorting algorithm like Timsort, which is the default sorting algorithm used in Python. Here's the optimized version. This utilizes Python's built-in `sort` method, which is highly efficient with a time complexity of O(n log n).

The function you provided, sorter, is already using Python's built-in sort function which has a time complexity of O(n log n), where n is a number of elements in the array. This is the fastest achievable sorting complexity for comparison-based sorts.
However, if you want to achieve a marginal speed increase, writing this in-place might help.
Here's an alternative version using list comprehension. Although this does not improve the time complexity, it gives a Pythonic touch:
```python
def sorter(arr):
return sorted(arr)
```
Again, this command returns a new sorted list and does not modify the original list. If you want to sort the list in-place, you only have the original function:
Please note that sorting time complexity cannot be improved further than O(n log n) using comparison-based sorting algorithms. To really optimize this function, you would need a guarantee about the content of your data, for example, if your array only contained integers in a particular range, then you could use counting sort or radix sort, which can have a time complexity of O(n).
