pandas.DataFrame.sort_index

Sort object by labels (along an axis).

param axis
{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0

The axis along which to sort. The value 0 identifies the rows, and 1 identifies the columns.

param level
int or level name or list of ints or list of level names

If not None, sort on values in specified index level(s).

param ascending
bool, default True

Sort ascending vs. descending.

param inplace
bool, default False

If True, perform operation in-place.

param kind
{‘quicksort’, ‘mergesort’, ‘heapsort’}, default ‘quicksort’

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.

param na_position
{‘first’, ‘last’}, default ‘last’

Puts NaNs at the beginning if first; last puts NaNs at the end. Not implemented for MultiIndex.

param sort_remaining
bool, default True

If True and sorting by level and index is multilevel, sort by other levels too (in order) after sorting by specified level.

return

sorted_obj : DataFrame or None DataFrame with sorted index if inplace=False, None otherwise.
