sort_values¶
-
Zmat.sort_values(by, axis=0, ascending=True, inplace=False, kind='quicksort', na_position='last')¶ Sort by the values along either axis
The description is taken from the pandas project.
Parameters: - by (string name or list of names which refer to the axis items) –
- axis (index, columns to direct sorting) –
- ascending (bool or list of bool) – Sort ascending vs. descending. Specify list for multiple sort orders. If this is a list of bools, must match the length of the by.
- inplace (bool) – if True, perform operation in-place
- kind ({quicksort, mergesort, heapsort}) – Choice of sorting algorithm. See also ndarray.np.sort for more information. mergesort is the only stable algorithm. For DataFrames, this option is only applied when sorting on a single column or label.
- na_position ({'first', 'last'}) – first puts NaNs at the beginning, last puts NaNs at the end
Returns: sorted_obj
Return type:
