verticapy.core.tablesample.base.TableSample.sort#

TableSample.sort(column: str, desc: bool = False) → TableSample#

Sorts the TableSample using the input column.

Parameters#

column: str, optional: Column used to sort the data.
desc: bool, optional: If set to True, the result is sorted in descending order.

Returns#

TableSample: self.

Examples#

Let’s import the TableSample object:

from verticapy import TableSample

Let’s build an example object.

# dict with all the data.
d = {
    "customer_ID": [0, 1, 2, 3],
    "age": [40, 30, 22, 55],
    "name": ['Roger', 'Maria', 'Alisia', 'Costi'],
}


# creating the object.
tb = TableSample(d)

	customer_ID	age	name
1	0	40	Roger
2	1	30	Maria
3	2	22	Alisia
4	3	55	Costi

Rows: 1-4 | Columns: 3

Let’s use the function. We will sort in descending order using the “age” column.

tb.sort("age", desc = True)

	customer_ID	age	name
1	3	55	Costi
2	0	40	Roger
3	1	30	Maria
4	2	22	Alisia

Rows: 1-4 | Columns: 3
