In-place sort_values in pandas what does it exactly mean?

Here an example. df1 will hold sorted dataframe and df will be intact

import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime as dt
df = pd.DataFrame(data=[22,22,3],
                  index=[dt(2016, 11, 10, 0), dt(2016, 11, 10, 13), dt(2016, 11, 13, 5)],
                  columns=['foo'])

df1 = df.sort_values(by='foo')
print(df, df1)

In the case below, df will hold sorted values

import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime as dt

df = pd.DataFrame(data=[22,22,3],
                  index=[dt(2016, 11, 10, 0), dt(2016, 11, 10, 13), dt(2016, 11, 13, 5)],
                  columns=['foo'])

df.sort_values(by='foo', inplace=True)
print(df)
