[python] How to sort a Pandas DataFrame by index?

Dataframes have a sort_index method which returns a copy by default. Pass inplace=True to operate in place.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], index=[100, 29, 234, 1, 150], columns=['A'])
df.sort_index(inplace=True)
print(df.to_string())

Gives me:

     A
1    4
29   2
100  1
150  5
234  3
