python series 排序_在python中用熊猫排序系列

I selected one column from the a DataFrame, then I got a Series. How can I sort the series? I used the Series.sort(), but it doesn't work.

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [5,0,3,8],

'B': ['B8', 'B9', 'B10', 'B11']})

df

A B

0 5 B8

1 0 B9

2 3 B10

3 8 B11

Then I selected the column 'A'

df['A']

A

0 5

1 0

2 3

3 8

After selected 'A' column, I got a Series, but with Series.sort(), it doesn't work.

df['A'].sort()

It shows the error:

"ValueError: This Series is a view of some other array, to sort in-place you must create a copy"

So I used the Series.copy() function to copy the series, after that I sort the series, but there is no outcome.

df['A'].copy().sort()

But there is no result returned.

How can I fix the problem?

解决方案But there is no result returned.

That is because the sort is in place, it modifies the object. Try this

A = df['A'].copy()

A.sort()

print(A)
