I have a dataset with multi-index columns in a pandas df that I would like to sort by values in a specific column. I have tried using sortindex and sortlevel but haven't been able get the results I am looking for. My dataset looks like:
Group1 Group2
A B C A B C
1 1 0 3 2 5 7
2 5 6 9 1 0 0
3 7 0 2 0 3 5
I want to sort all data and the index by column C in Group 1 in descending order so my results look like:
Group1 Group2
A B C A B C
2 5 6 9 1 0 0
1 1 0 3 2 5 7
3 7 0 2 0 3 5
Is it possible to do this sort with the structure that my data is in, or should I be swapping Group1 to the index side?
