How do I sort a dataframe by distance from zero value

I’ll start by saying I am a Python beginner, I did try and find an answer to this via similar questions but I’m struggling to grasp some of the solutions in order to tailor them for my own use.

If I have a Pandas dataframe as follows:

What code would I need in order to sort it as per the below whilst excluding the 0 value.
I would ideally want to grab the value closest to zero (assuming this is possible).

>Solution :

IIUC, you can set abs as a key parameter of pandas.DataFrame.sort_values.

Try this :

out = df.sort_values(by="Score", key=abs)

# Output :

print(out)

     Name  Score
3  maggie      0
2   sally     -5
1    jane    -10
4   peter     15
6    andy     25
0     bob    -30
5    mike     50
