Pandas Python: sort dataframe but don't include given row

Question

I have df which looks like this:

Label                      Base
Label                          
Très à gauche              4.51
Très à droite             10         


        

Answer 1

You probably want to filter out the rows you don't want included in your sort operation:

d = df_table
condition = (d.Label=='A gauche') | (d.Label=='A droite')
excluded = d[condition]
included = d[~condition]

Which can then be sorted

sorted = included.sort(columns="Base",ascending=True)

And if you want the excluded rows appended to the end of your data frame, you could do this:

pandas.concat([sorted,excluded])
