Sort Spark Dataframe with two columns in different order
Use Column method desc, as shown below:
val df = Seq(
(2,6), (1,2), (1,3), (1,5), (2,3)
).toDF("A", "B")
df.orderBy($"A", $"B".desc).show
// +---+---+
// | A| B|
// +---+---+
// | 1| 5|
// | 1| 3|
// | 1| 2|
// | 2| 6|
// | 2| 3|
// +---+---+
desc
is the correct method to use, however, not that it is a method in the Columnn
class. It should therefore be applied as follows:
df.orderBy($"A", $"B".desc)
$"B".desc
returns a column so "A"
must also be changed to $"A"
(or col("A")
if spark implicits isn't imported).
