sorting by column in pandas

# Python, Pandas
# Sorting dataframe df on the values of a column col1

# Return sorted array without modifying the original one
df.sort_values(by=["col1"]) 

# Sort the original array permanently
df.sort_values(by=["col1"], inplace = True)

pandas sort columns by name

df = df.reindex(sorted(df.columns), axis=1)

sort by dataframe

DataFrame.sort_values(self, by, axis=0, ascending=True,
                      inplace=False, kind='quicksort',
                      na_position='last',
                      ignore_index=False)

# Example
df.sort_values(by=['ColToSortBy'])

dataframe sort by column

sorted = df.sort_values('column-to-sort-on', ascending=False)
#or
df.sort_values('name', inplace=True) 

dataframe, sort by columns

final_df = df.sort_values(by=['2'], ascending=False)

sort df by column

df.rename(columns={1:'month'},inplace=True)
df['month'] = pd.Categorical(df['month'],categories=['December','November','October','September','August','July','June','May','April','March','February','January'],ordered=True)
df = df.sort_values('month',ascending=False)

pandas sort by columns

# Python, Pandas
# Sorting dataframe

# sort by one column
df.sort_values(by=['col1']) 

# sort by more columns
df.sort_values(by=['col1', 'col2'])

# defaut values
# DataFrame.sort_values(by, axis=0, ascending=True, inplace=False, kind='quicksort', na_position='last', ignore_index=False, key=None)

Sorting Dataframes by Column Python Pandas

# Sorting Pandas Dataframe in Descending Order
  
# importing pandas library

# Initializing the nested list with Data set
age_list = [['Afghanistan', 1952, 8425333, 'Asia'],
            ['Australia', 1957, 9712569, 'Oceania'],

# creating a pandas dataframe

                                     'Population', 'Continent'])
  
# Sorting by column "Population"

sort columns dataframe

df = df.reindex(sorted(df.columns), axis=1)

pandas sort dataframe by column

# Basic syntax:
import pandas as pd
df.sort_values(by=['col1'])

# Note, this does not sort in place unless you add inplace=True
# Note, add ascending=False if you want to sort in decreasing order
# Note, to sort by more than one column, add other column names to the
#	list like by=['col1', 'col2']

pandas dataframe sort by column

df.sort_values(by=['col1])

python dataframe sort by column name

>>> result = df.sort(['A', 'B'], ascending=[1, 0])

sort dataframe by function

df = pd.DataFrame(['bit_0', 'bit_2', 'bit_5'], columns=['bit'])
df.sort_values('bit' ,key=lambda x: x.str.split("_",expand=True)[1].astype(int))
