Sorting Values in Dataframe

[NeelaGitH]

So I was doing the Kaggle exercise, and this was the question where it asked to sort the Series based on values and we use the sort_values() function for sorting based on values. But when I submitted the answer, it's showing it was wrong and the correct function is sort_index(). But as far as I know, this function is used for sorting based on indexes. So I can't understand how it's the correct answer.

Hey @NeelaGitH sorry for the late response!

Here, it appears you were asked to firstly sort the values by the index associated with price which is why the sort_index() method is correct. If you were using sort_values() that didn't work mostly because you had to sort one specific index in ascending order and the sort_values() function does not do so as intended.

To further understand my point I would recommend trying to download this dataset into your local system and printing out the two results when using sort_values() and sort_index() respectively.
