- In your Dataset choose Actions > Python > Recipee
- Add a new Output Dataset in the modal window
- Copy and adapt the following code snippet
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import dataiku
import pandas as pd, numpy as np
from dataiku import pandasutils as pdu
# Input datasets
input_dataset = dataiku.Dataset("Input_dataset")
input_dataset_df = input_dataset.get_dataframe()
sorted_dataset = input_dataset_df.sort(["column_i_want_to_sort"], ascending=[0])
# Output datasets
output_dataset = dataiku.Dataset("Output_dataset")
output_dataset.write_with_schema(sorted_dataset)- Run the script, boom your column is sorted \o/

Hi Simon,
This is not possible to sort a dataset in an Analyze section or a visual preparation recipe. It might me available in a future release.
However, you can sort a dataset with a Python/R/SQL recipe. -
Starting with DSS 4.0 you can sort values of your sample in the preview. Click on the header of a column and select sort.
Note that if you want to write out a sorted dataset, the selected answer is still the way to go.
