DataFrame.
swaplevel
Swap levels i and j in a MultiIndex on a particular axis.
Levels of the indices to be swapped. Can pass level name as string.
The axis to swap levels on. 0 or ‘index’ for row-wise, 1 or ‘columns’ for column-wise.
DataFrame with levels swapped in MultiIndex.
Examples
>>> midx = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays( ... [['red', 'blue'], [1, 2], ['s', 'm']], names = ['color', 'number', 'size']) >>> midx MultiIndex([( 'red', 1, 's'), ('blue', 2, 'm')], names=['color', 'number', 'size'])
Swap levels in a MultiIndex on index.
>>> psdf = ps.DataFrame({'x': [5, 6], 'y':[5, 6]}, index=midx) >>> psdf x y color number size red 1 s 5 5 blue 2 m 6 6
>>> psdf.swaplevel() x y color size number red s 1 5 5 blue m 2 6 6
>>> psdf.swaplevel(0, 1) x y number color size 1 red s 5 5 2 blue m 6 6
>>> psdf.swaplevel('number', 'size') x y color size number red s 1 5 5 blue m 2 6 6
Swap levels in a MultiIndex on columns.
>>> psdf = ps.DataFrame({'x': [5, 6], 'y':[5, 6]}) >>> psdf.columns = midx >>> psdf color red blue number 1 2 size s m 0 5 5 1 6 6
>>> psdf.swaplevel(axis=1) color red blue size s m number 1 2 0 5 5 1 6 6
>>> psdf.swaplevel(0, 1, axis=1) number 1 2 color red blue size s m 0 5 5 1 6 6
>>> psdf.swaplevel('number', 'color', axis=1) number 1 2 color red blue size s m 0 5 5 1 6 6
