swat.cas.table.CASColumn.sort_values¶

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

Apply sort order parameters to fetches of the data in this column

CAS tables do not have a predictable order due to the fact that the data may be distributed across machines in a grid. By using the sort_values() method, you are simply applying a sortby= parameter to any table.fetch actions executed on the CASColumn. This gives the appearance of sorted data when it is being retrieved.

Parameters:	axis : int, optional Not implemented. ascending : boolean, optional Should the sort order be ascending? inplace : boolean, optional Should the CASColumn be modified in place? kind : string, optional Not implemented. na_position : string, optional Not implemented.
Returns:	self If inplace == True CASColumn If inplace == False
