Méthode pandas.Categorical.argsort

Signature de la méthode argsort

def argsort(self, ascending=True, kind='quicksort', **kwargs) 

Description

argsort.__doc__

        Return the indices that would sort the Categorical.

        .. versionchanged:: 0.25.0

           Changed to sort missing values at the end.

        Parameters
        ----------
        ascending : bool, default True
            Whether the indices should result in an ascending
            or descending sort.
        kind : {'quicksort', 'mergesort', 'heapsort'}, optional
            Sorting algorithm.
        **kwargs:
            passed through to :func:`numpy.argsort`.

        Returns
        -------
        numpy.array

        See Also
        --------
        numpy.ndarray.argsort

        Notes
        -----
        While an ordering is applied to the category values, arg-sorting
        in this context refers more to organizing and grouping together
        based on matching category values. Thus, this function can be
        called on an unordered Categorical instance unlike the functions
        'Categorical.min' and 'Categorical.max'.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> pd.Categorical(['b', 'b', 'a', 'c']).argsort()
        array([2, 0, 1, 3])

        >>> cat = pd.Categorical(['b', 'b', 'a', 'c'],
        ...                      categories=['c', 'b', 'a'],
        ...                      ordered=True)
        >>> cat.argsort()
        array([3, 0, 1, 2])

        Missing values are placed at the end

        >>> cat = pd.Categorical([2, None, 1])
        >>> cat.argsort()
        array([2, 0, 1])
