@@ -513,6 +513,7 @@ Other enhancements
 - ``Timestamp``, ``Period``, ``DatetimeIndex``, ``PeriodIndex`` and ``.dt`` accessor have gained a ``.is_leap_year`` property to check whether the date belongs to a leap year. (:issue:`13727`)
 - ``astype()`` will now accept a dict of column name to data types mapping as the ``dtype`` argument. (:issue:`12086`)
 - The ``pd.read_json`` and ``DataFrame.to_json`` has gained support for reading and writing json lines with ``lines`` option see :ref:`Line delimited json <io.jsonl>` (:issue:`9180`)

  Choice of sorting algorithm. See also ndarray.np.sort for more
  information. `mergesort` is the only stable algorithm. For
  DataFrames, this option is only applied when sorting on a single
  column or label.
  na_position : {'first', 'last'}, default 'last'
