Pandas: Sort movies on runtime in descending order

Pandas: IMDb Movies Exercise-12 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to sort movies on runtime in descending order.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('movies_metadata.csv')
small_df = df[['title', 'release_date', 'budget', 'revenue', 'runtime']]
#Sort Movies based on runtime (in descending order)
result = small_df.sort_values('runtime', ascending=False)
print("DataFrame sort on Runtime.")
print(result.head())

Sample Output:

DataFrame sort on Runtime.
                    title release_date    budget    revenue  runtime

15                 Casino   1995-11-22  52000000  116112375    178.0
