How to sort a column of a Pandas DataFrame?
To sort a column in a Pandas DataFrame, we can use the sort_values() method.
Steps
Create a two-dimensional, size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data, df.
Print input DataFrame, df.
Initialize a variable col to sort the column.
Print the sorted DataFrame.
Example
import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame( { "x": [5, 2, 7, 0], "y": [4, 10, 5, 1], `"z": [9, 3, 5, 1] } ) print "Input DataFrame is:
", df col = "x" df = df[col].sort_values(ascending=False) print "After sorting column ", col, "DataFrame is:
", df
Output
Input DataFrame is: x y z 0 5 4 9 1 2 10 3 2 7 5 5 3 0 1 1 After sorting column x DataFrame is: 2 7 0 5 1 2 3 0 Name: x, dtype: int64
