Does this answer your question? [Sorting by absolute value without changing the data](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30486263/sorting-by-absolute-value-without-changing-the-data) — G. Anderson, Feb 11 '20 at 20:12
I'm saying `stockdata14['abs.dist'] = stockdata14['Dist. Media'].abs(); stockdata14.sort_values('abs.dist', ascending=False)`. — Quang Hoang, Feb 11 '20 at 20:12
Why is 7 after 8.17 and not 7.49? Or did you just use random numbers for the desired output? — Celius Stingher, Feb 11 '20 at 20:14

We can do argsort

df=df.iloc[(-df['Dist. Média'].abs()).argsort()]
