Python/pyspark data frame rearrange columns

Python/pyspark data frame rearrange columns

In both Python and PySpark, you can rearrange columns in a DataFrame using the select() function. Here's how you can do it in both environments:

Python (Pandas)

import pandas as pd # Sample DataFrame data = {'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6], 'C': [7, 8, 9]} df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Rearrange columns new_order = ['C', 'A', 'B'] df_reordered = df[new_order] print(df_reordered)

PySpark

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # Create a Spark session spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("ColumnRearrange").getOrCreate() # Sample DataFrame data = [(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)] columns = ["A", "B", "C"] df = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) # Rearrange columns new_order = ["C", "A", "B"] df_reordered = df.select(*new_order) df_reordered.show() # Stop the Spark session spark.stop()

In both cases, you define a new order for the columns and use either column indexing (Pandas) or the select() function with unpacking (*) to rearrange the columns. Keep in mind that DataFrame columns are immutable, so creating a new DataFrame with the desired column order is necessary.

Also, note that the PySpark example assumes you have a Spark session running. If you're not working with a Spark cluster, you can create a local Spark session as shown above.
