Python Pandas - Rearrange levels in MultiIndex
To rearrange levels in MultiIndex, use the MultiIndex.reorder_levels() method in Pandas. Set the order of levels using the order parameter.
At first, import the required libraries −
import pandas as pd
MultiIndex is a multi-level, or hierarchical, index object for pandas objects. Create arrays −
arrays = [[2, 4, 3, 1], ['Peter', 'Chris', 'Andy', 'Jacob'], [50, 30, 40, 70]]
The "names" parameter sets the names for each of the index levels. The from_arrays() is used to create a MultiIndex −
multiIndex = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(arrays, names=('rank', 'student', 'points'))Reorder levels of MultiIndex. The "order" parameter is used to set the level in a form to reorder levels
print("\nReorder levels in MultiIndex...\n",multiIndex.reorder_levels(order=[2, 0, 1]))Example
Following is the code −
import pandas as pd
# MultiIndex is a multi-level, or hierarchical, index object for pandas objects
# Create arrays
arrays = [[2, 4, 3, 1], ['Peter', 'Chris', 'Andy', 'Jacob'], [50, 30, 40, 70]]
# The "names" parameter sets the names for each of the index levels
# The from_arrays() is used to create a MultiIndex
multiIndex = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(arrays, names=('rank', 'student', 'points'))
# display the MultiIndex
print("The MultiIndex...\n",multiIndex)
# get the levels in MultiIndex
print("\nThe levels in MultiIndex...\n",multiIndex.levels)
# Reorder levels of MultiIndex
# The "order" parameter is used to set the level in a form to reorder levels
print("\nReorder levels in MultiIndex...\n",multiIndex.reorder_levels(order=[2, 0, 1]))Output
This will produce the following output −
The MultiIndex... MultiIndex([(2, 'Peter', 50), (4, 'Chris', 30), (3, 'Andy', 40), (1, 'Jacob', 70)], names=['rank', 'student', 'points']) The levels in MultiIndex... [[1, 2, 3, 4], ['Andy', 'Chris', 'Jacob', 'Peter'], [30, 40, 50, 70]] Reorder levels in MultiIndex... MultiIndex([(50, 2, 'Peter'), (30, 4, 'Chris'), (40, 3, 'Andy'), (70, 1, 'Jacob')], names=['points', 'rank', 'student'])
