# Introduction The Python Pandas `DataFrame.nsmallest()` method is used to get the first n rows of a DataFrame that are ordered by columns in ascending order. This method returns the first n rows with the smallest values in the specified columns, in ascending order. The columns that are not specified are returned as well, but not used for ordering. ## VM Tips After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the **Notebook** tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice. Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook. If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
