# pandas.Series.sort

`Series.``sort`(axis=0, ascending=True, kind='quicksort', na_position='last', inplace=True)

  Sort values and index labels by value. This is an inplace sort by default. Series.order is the equivalent but returns a new Series.

Passing False sorts descending kind : {‘mergesort’, ‘quicksort’, ‘heapsort’}, default ‘quicksort’ Choice of sorting algorithm. See np.sort for more information. ‘mergesort’ is the only stable algorithm na_position : {‘first’, ‘last’} (optional, default=’last’) ‘first’ puts NaNs at the beginning ‘last’ puts NaNs at the end inplace : boolean, default True Do operation in place.
