pandas.Series.sort_values¶
- Series.sort_values(axis=0, ascending=True, inplace=False, kind='quicksort', na_position='last')¶
Sort by the values along either axis
New in version 0.17.0.
Parameters: by : string name or list of names which refer to the axis items
axis : index 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 : Series
