pandas.Series.argsort

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

Return the integer indices that would sort the Series values.

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.

Series
