Parameters#

bystr or list of str

Name or list of names to sort by.

Difference from pandas:

  • Support axis=’index’ only.

  • Not supporting: inplace, kind

Examples#

>>> import cudf
>>> df = cudf.DataFrame()
>>> df['a'] = [0, 1, 2]
>>> df['b'] = [-3, 2, 0]
>>> df.sort_values('b')
   a  b
0  0 -3
2  2  0
