Examples

Let’s import the TableSample object:

from vastorbit import TableSample

Let’s build an example object.

# dict with all the data.
d = {
    "customer_ID": [0, 1, 2, 3],
    "age": [40, 30, 22, 55],
    "name": ['Roger', 'Maria', 'Alisia', 'Costi'],
}

# creating the object.
tb = TableSample(d)

	customer_ID	age	name
1	0	40	Roger
2	1	30	Maria
3	2	22	Alisia
4	3	55	Costi

Rows: 1-4 | Columns: 3

Let’s use the function. We will sort in descending order using the “age” column.

tb.sort("age", desc = True)

	customer_ID	age	name
1	3	55	Costi
2	0	40	Roger
3	1	30	Maria
4	2	22	Alisia

Rows: 1-4 | Columns: 3
