DataFrame.sort(by=labels: Sequence[str])

[MarcoGorelli]

There's currently no sorting functionality. OK to add DataFrame.sort which takes a sequence of column names to sort by?

+1 from me

I think people will want to be able to specify if it is an ascending or descending sort?

In addition to a general ascending/descending flag, some other possible options that I am aware off in other systems: ability to specify ascending/descending per sort key, specify behaviour of sorting NaNs/nulls (first vs last)
