Sorting DataFrame by values of a column [duplicate]

Question

I want to sort this dataframe by values of "Score"(from giggest to smalles or vice versa, I just want some order here) I coded at end: models.sort_values(by='Score', ascending=False)

                        Model     Score
0     Support Vector Machines  0.685315
1                         KNN  0.748252
2         Logistic Regression  0.769231
3               Random Forest  0.944056
4                 Naive Bayes  0.769231
5                  Perceptron  0.720280
6  Stochastic Gradient Decent  0.447552
7                  Linear SVC  0.790210
8               Decision Tree  0.727273

Obviously my code didn't work, what should I write?

sort_values is not in-place by default. From the docs:

DataFrame.sort_values(by, axis=0, ascending=True, inplace=False, kind='quicksort', na_position='last')

Either use inplace=True:

models.sort_values(by='Score', ascending=False, inplace=True)

Or re-assign:

models = models.sort_values(by='Score', ascending=False)
