Data analysis in Python with pandas - How do I sort a pandas DataFrame or a Series?

pandas allows you to sort a DataFrame by one of its columns (known as a "Series"), and also allows you to sort a Series alone. The sorting API changed in pandas version 0.17, so in this video, I'll demonstrate both the "old way" and the "new way" to sort. I'll also show you how to sort a DataFrame by multiple columns at once!
