How to Re-Order Values of Columns in Pandas DataFrames?

Data manipulation and organization is a major part of data analysis, especially when working with Pandas in Python. If you've ever found yourself needing to re-order column values to improve clarity in your dataset, you're not alone. A common issue when pivoting tables is that the columns may not appear in the desired order.

In this guide, we will dive deep into how to address this issue specifically, focusing on how to rearrange columns after pivoting a DataFrame using Pandas.

Understanding the Problem

You may face a situation where you've pivoted your DataFrame, and your columns are not aligned or ordered as you wish. For instance, consider the following DataFrame pivoting example:

When you pivot this DataFrame, you may end up with columns that are out of order, leading to confusion and inefficiencies.

The Desired Output

The goal is to get a more organized output where the columns are grouped by the values ['CMC', 'CMV', 'VL_VENDAS']. The desired output format looks like this:
