Sorting DataFrame values

 Sort by column

The sort_values( ) are the values of the column whose name is passed in the by attribute in the ascending order by default we can set this attribute to false to sort the array in the descending order.

Python3




data_frame.sort_values(by='Age', ascending=False).head()


Output:

    CustomerID   Genre  Age  Annual Income (k$)  Spending Score (1-100)  \
70 71 Male 70 49 55
60 61 Male 70 46 56
57 58 Male 69 44 46
90 91 Female 68 59 55
67 68 Female 68 48 48
NewColumn
70 1
60 1
57 1
90 1
67 1

 Sort by multiple columns

Python3




data_frame.sort_values(by=['Age','Annual Income (k$)']).head(10)


Output:

     CustomerID   Genre  Age  Annual Income (k$)  Spending Score (1-100)  \
33 34 Male 18 33 92
65 66 Male 18 48 59
