You can sort a column alphabetically in Pandas with the following code. I highly recommend you This book to learn Python.
Step 1: Install Pandas Library
Install the Pandas library using this code, if it is not installed.

Example 1: Sort a column alphabetically in Ascending Order
# Import the Pandas library as pd
import pandas as pd
# Initialize a dictionary
dict = {'Name':['Hussain', 'John', 'Ali', 'Satish'],
'Marks':[75, 80, 85, 82]}
# Create DataFrame from dictionary
df = pd.DataFrame(dict)
# Display the DataFrame
print(df)
# Sorting in Ascending Order
df.sort_values(by=['Name'], inplace=True)
# Display the DataFrame
print(df)Output:
Name Marks
0 Hussain 75
1 John 80
2 Ali 85
3 Satish 82
Name Marks
2 Ali 85
0 Hussain 75
1 John 80
3 Satish 82
Example 2: Sort a column alphabetically in Descending Order
# Import the Pandas library as pd
import pandas as pd
# Initialize a dictionary
dict = {'Name':['Hussain', 'John', 'Ali', 'Satish'],
'Marks':[75, 80, 85, 82]}
# Create DataFrame from dictionary
df = pd.DataFrame(dict)
# Display the DataFrame
print(df)
# Sorting in Descending Order
df.sort_values(by=['Name'], inplace=True, ascending=False)
# Display the DataFrame
print(df)Output:
Name Marks
0 Hussain 75
1 John 80
2 Ali 85
