Example 4: how to sort in pandas
// Single sort
>>> df.sort_values(by=['col1'],ascending=False)
// ascending => [False(reverse order) & True(default)]
// Multiple Sort
>>> df.sort_values(by=['col1','col2'],ascending=[True,False])
// with apply()
>>> df[['col1','col2']].apply(sorted,axis=1)
// axis = [1 & 0], 1 = 'columns', 0 = 'index'
