"I have the following Python function that sorts a list of objects based on a dynamic key. My current implementation uses a nested loop. Analyze this code and suggest an optimization that primarily reduces its time complexity (and secondarily, improves readability). Provide the refactored code and an analysis of the complexity change (e.g., $O(n^2)$ to $O(n \log n)$).
