Applying multiple functions to pandas column

I am attempting to sort by the maximum value of a column such as:

    dfWinners = df_new_out['Margin'].apply[max().sort_values(ascending=False)]

But am unsure of how to use the apply function for multiple methods such as max and sort. I'm sure it's a very simple problem but I cannot for the life of me find it through searching on here. Thank you!

It's not clear what you're trying to do by assigning to dfWinners

If you intend dfWinners to be a list of sorted maximum to minimum values as you've described above then you can use the native sorted() method of python.

dfWinners = sorted(df_new_out['Margin'])

Else, you can sort your dataframe in place

df_new_out.sort_values(by = ['Margin'], ascending=False, inplace=True)
