我有以下DataFrame(df):

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10, 5))

我通过分配添加更多列:

df['mean'] = df.mean(1)

如何将列的意思移到前面,即将其设置为第一列,而其他列的顺序保持不变?


当前回答

我有一个在panda中重新排序列名的非常具体的用例。有时我在基于现有列的数据帧中创建一个新列。默认情况下,panda将在末尾插入我的新列,但我希望新列插入到它派生的现有列旁边。

def rearrange_list(input_list, input_item_to_move, input_item_insert_here):
    '''
    Helper function to re-arrange the order of items in a list.
    Useful for moving column in pandas dataframe.

    Inputs:
        input_list - list
        input_item_to_move - item in list to move
        input_item_insert_here - item in list, insert before 

    returns:
        output_list
    '''
    # make copy for output, make sure it's a list
    output_list = list(input_list)

    # index of item to move
    idx_move = output_list.index(input_item_to_move)

    # pop off the item to move
    itm_move = output_list.pop(idx_move)

    # index of item to insert here
    idx_insert = output_list.index(input_item_insert_here)

    # insert item to move into here
    output_list.insert(idx_insert, itm_move)

    return output_list


import pandas as pd

# step 1: create sample dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'motorcycle': ['motorcycle1', 'motorcycle2', 'motorcycle3'],
    'initial_odometer': [101, 500, 322],
    'final_odometer': [201, 515, 463],
    'other_col_1': ['blah', 'blah', 'blah'],
    'other_col_2': ['blah', 'blah', 'blah']
})
print('Step 1: create sample dataframe')
display(df)
print()

# step 2: add new column that is difference between final and initial
df['change_odometer'] = df['final_odometer']-df['initial_odometer']
print('Step 2: add new column')
display(df)
print()

# step 3: rearrange columns
ls_cols = df.columns
ls_cols = rearrange_list(ls_cols, 'change_odometer', 'final_odometer')
df=df[ls_cols]
print('Step 3: rearrange columns')
display(df)

简单地说,

df = df[['mean'] + df.columns[:-1].tolist()]

只需键入要更改的列名,然后为新位置设置索引。

def change_column_order(df, col_name, index):
    cols = df.columns.tolist()
    cols.remove(col_name)
    cols.insert(index, col_name)
    return df[cols]

对于您的情况,这将是:

df = change_column_order(df, 'mean', 0)

我很喜欢Shoresh的回答:当你不知道位置时,使用集合功能来删除列,但这不符合我的目的,因为我需要保持原始的列顺序(具有任意的列标签)。

不过,我通过使用boltons包中的IndexedSet实现了这一点。

我还需要重新添加多个列标签,因此对于更一般的情况,我使用了以下代码:

from boltons.setutils import IndexedSet
cols = list(IndexedSet(df.columns.tolist()) - set(['mean', 'std']))
cols[0:0] =['mean', 'std']
df = df[cols]

希望这对搜索此线程以寻求通用解决方案的任何人都有用。

我相信,如果你知道另一列的位置,@Aman的答案是最好的。

如果您不知道mean的位置,但只有它的名称,则不能直接使用cols=cols[-1:]+cols[:-1]。以下是我接下来能想到的最好的东西:

meanDf = pd.DataFrame(df.pop('mean'))
# now df doesn't contain "mean" anymore. Order of join will move it to left or right:
meanDf.join(df) # has mean as first column
df.join(meanDf) # has mean as last column
