Inconsistent sorting with the .sort_values() function

[devansing]

Thanks again. I looked into what you said and you are correct. I changed the column to a numeric dtype using apply(pd.to_numeric) and was able to sort it correctly.

The only issue now is that the column name has been removed (assuming because it is no longer a string?) so I can't figure out how to combine the two columns (Country/Region, Inflation Yearly Basis) back into a dataframe so I can plot it. Any ideas?

I've attached the code.
