I was testing in the script editor and accidentally made a list called "sorted". I've since removed that part of the code but I can no longer call `sorted()`, I just get an error saying that list object is not callable.

How do I fix it?

Just out of curiosity, which script editor were you using?

This button fixes it in the script console

...in the component script editor, deleting the code fixed it for me without having to reload the project..

It was the script console.

Yes, that button does fix it for the console
