pandas.Series.argsort¶

Series.argsort(self, axis=0, kind='quicksort', order=None)[source]¶

Override ndarray.argsort. Argsorts the value, omitting NA/null values, and places the result in the same locations as the non-NA values.

Parameters

axis{0 or “index”}: Has no effect but is accepted for compatibility with numpy.
kind{‘mergesort’, ‘quicksort’, ‘heapsort’}, default ‘quicksort’: Choice of sorting algorithm. See np.sort for more information. ‘mergesort’ is the only stable algorithm.
orderNone: Has no effect but is accepted for compatibility with numpy.

Returns

Series: Positions of values within the sort order with -1 indicating nan values.
