Using sort() that is deprecated in Pandas.

[edwardmoradian]

I ran into the issue of a newer version of Pandas that uses sort_values or sort_index for sort (deprecated in 2017). In PyALE_src\ALE_1D.py, sort is being called in line 96. Can we switch to the newer function sort_values? In other lines of the program, lines 61 and 221, sort_values and sort_index are being used. I am getting an error, "AttributeError: 'Categorical' object has no attribute 'sort'".

Issue Code Line 95 and 96:
groups = X[feature].unique()
groups.sort()

Hi edwardmoradian,
groups is a numpy array (the output of unique) so the function sort in this location is not supposed to be pandas deprecated sort.
can you please provide a reproducible example of the error you got so I can take a deeper look into it?

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like unique() is returning a Categorical dtype for me instead of the ndarray. I need to manipulate my data.
