for col1, col2 and col3 how to find which columns are in ascending order and which columns are not.

Answer 1

is_monotonic is deprecated. Now use:

assert df["x"].is_monotonic_increasing
assert df["y"].is_monotonic_increasing
assert df["z"].is_monotonic_increasing

Answer 2

Try:

df.apply(lambda x: x.is_monotonic)
