Description

Currently the methods on a lot of api reference docs are nor sorted which makes navigation quite hard and unintuitive, e.g. https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/reference/pyspark.pandas/series.html#reindexing-selection-label-manipulation

has the following order:

Series.equals(other)	Compare if the current value is equal to the other.
Series.add_prefix(prefix)	Prefix labels with string prefix.
Series.add_suffix(suffix)	Suffix labels with string suffix.
Series.first(offset)	Select first periods of time series data based on a date offset.
Series.head([n])

 

Ideally the methods should be sorted alphabetically to make navigating the docs predictable.
