How to change the order of DataFrame columns?

Question

I have the following DataFrame (df):

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

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

Answer 1

You could also do something like this:

df = df[['mean', '0', '1', '2', '3']]

You can get the list of columns with:

cols = list(df.columns.values)

The output will produce:

['0', '1', '2', '3', 'mean']

...which is then easy to rearrange manually before dropping it into the first function
