how to change the order of the columns in pandas code example
Example 1: pandas reorder columns
raw_data = {'name': ['Willard Morris', 'Al Jennings', 'Omar Mullins', 'Spencer McDaniel'],
'age': [20, 19, 22, 21],
'favorite_color': ['blue', 'red', 'yellow', "green"],
'grade': [88, 92, 95, 70]}
df = pd.DataFrame(raw_data, index = ['Willard Morris', 'Al Jennings', 'Omar Mullins', 'Spencer McDaniel'])
df
df = df[['favorite_color','grade','name','age']]
df.head()
Example 2: python more order of columns
In [7]: cols = df.columns.tolist()
In [8]: cols
Out[8]: [0L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 'mean']
In [12]: cols = cols[-1:] + cols[:-1]
In [13]: cols
Out[13]: ['mean', 0L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L]
In [14]: df = df[cols]
