change the column position in pandas code example

Example 1: change column name df

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3], "B": [4, 5, 6]})
>>> df.rename(columns={"A": "a", "B": "c"})
   a  c
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

Example 2: how to change column name in pandas

print(df.rename(columns={'A': 'a', 'C': 'c'}))
#         a   B   c
# ONE    11  12  13
# TWO    21  22  23
# THREE  31  32  33

Example 3: pandas reorder columns by name

#old df columns
df.columns
Index(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'],dtype='***')
#new column format that we want to rearange
new_col = ['D','C','B','A'] #list of column name in order that we want

df = df[new_col]
df.columns
Index(['D', 'C', 'B', 'A'],dtype='***')
#new column order

Example 4: rearrange columns pandas

You could also do something like this:

df = df[['mean', '0', '1', '2', '3']]
You can get the list of columns with:

cols = list(df.columns.values)
The output will produce:

['0', '1', '2', '3', 'mean']
