Waarom herschikken?

dogs['coat'] = dogs["coat"].cat.reorder_categories(
  new_categories = ['short', 'medium', 'wirehaired', 'long'],

  ordered=True
)

Inplace gebruiken:

dogs["coat"].cat.reorder_categories(
  new_categories = ['short', 'medium', 'wirehaired', 'long'],
  ordered=True,

  inplace=True
)

dogs['coat'] = dogs["coat"].cat.reorder_categories(
  new_categories = ['short', 'medium', 'wirehaired', 'long'],
  ordered=True
)

dogs.groupby(by=['coat'])['age'].mean()

coat

medium        9.027982
wirehaired    8.424136
