Reordering DataFrame columns in Pandas

Pandas: Data Cleaning and Preprocessing Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to reorder columns in a DataFrame.

This exercise demonstrates how to reorder the columns in a DataFrame.

Sample Solution :

Code :

import pandas as pd

# Create a sample DataFrame with mixed column order
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Age': [25, 30, 22],
    'Name': ['Selena', 'Annabel', 'Caeso'],
    'Salary': [50000, 60000, 70000]
})

# Reorder columns to 'Name', 'Age', 'Salary'
df_reordered = df[['Name', 'Age', 'Salary']]

# Output the result
print(df_reordered)

Output:

      Name  Age  Salary
0   Selena   25   50000
1  Annabel   30   60000
2    Caeso   22   70000

Explanation:

  • Created a DataFrame with columns in mixed order.
  • Reordered the columns manually by passing the desired column order to df[].
  • Outputted the DataFrame with the columns in the desired order.
