what is the name of this sorting algorithm? is it bubble sort? most easy sorting?

what is the name of this sort? its just like bubble sort but its easy to write but harder in term of complexity.codes are in python language.

def sort(arr): 
    n = len(arr) 
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(n):
            if arr[i] < arr[j] : 
                arr[j], arr[i] = arr[i], arr[j]

but bubble sort is like this :

def bubbleSort(arr): 
    n = len(arr) 
  
    # Traverse through all array elements 
    for i in range(n): 
  
        # Last i elements are already in place 
        for j in range(0, n-i-1): 
  
            # traverse the array from 0 to n-i-1 
            # Swap if the element found is greater 
            # than the next element 
            if arr[j] > arr[j+1] : 
                arr[j], arr[j+1] = arr[j+1], arr[j]

It is neither selection sort nor bubble sort, but an unnecessary bad sort. All of them, your sort, selection sort and bubble sort are of the same complexity, O(n^2).

Your sort sweeps over the array in two loops without consideration for if an element has reached its proper place (as in selection sort) or if an element has gained a place relative to the next (as in bubble sort). The extra code in bubble and selection sort make them far better than yours.

Compare, yourself:

def sort(arr):
    print(arr)
    n = len(arr) 
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(n):
            if arr[i] < arr[j] :
                arr[j], arr[i] = arr[i], arr[j]
                print(arr)

def selectionsort(arr):
    print(arr)
    n = len(arr)
    for i in range(n-1):
        min_index = i
        for j in range(i+1, n):
            if arr[j] < arr[min_index]:
                min_index = j
        arr[i], arr[min_index] = arr[min_index], arr[i]
        print(arr)

def bubblesort(arr): 
    print(arr)
    n = len(arr) 
    for i in range(n): 
        for j in range(0, n-i-1): 
            if arr[j] > arr[j+1] :
                arr[j], arr[j+1] = arr[j+1], arr[j]
                print(arr)

print("sort:")
sort([4,6,3,2,7,1,8,5])
print("selectionsort:")
selectionsort([4,6,3,2,7,1,8,5])
print("bubblesort:")
bubblesort([4,6,3,2,7,1,8,5])

with the results:

sort:

[2, 3, 1, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8]
[2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
[2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

It doesn't make a big difference on small arrays but on large arrays it make a lot of difference (but then there are other methods).
