Sorting error on Jupyter

the following code works perfectly fine on my interpreter

a = [5, 1, 4, 3]
b = sorted(a)

why does it give me this error when I run it from Jupiter:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-71-4a5766271a85> in <module>()
----> 1 b = sorted(a)

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

Make sure that the name sorted is not overwritten.

>>> sorted([5,4,3,2,1])
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> sorted = []  # <--- overwritten; shadows builtin `sorted` function.
>>> sorted([5,4,3,2,1])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
