<p>Notice that the Series is automatically <strong>sorted</strong> by the keys of the dictionary! This means that the order of the elements in the Series will always be the same for a given dictionary (which cannot be said for the dictionary items themselves).</p>

<h3><span class="header-section-number">9.2.1</span> Series Operations</h3>
<p>The main benefit of Series (as opposed to normal lists or dictionaries) is that they provide a number of operations and methods that make it easy to consider and modify the entire Series, rather than needing to work with each element individually. These functions include built-in <em>mapping</em> and <em>filtering</em> style operations, as well as <em>reducing</em> aggregations.</p>
