ENH: Raise error on ascending='False' #41634
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
when sort_values ascending parameter is set to a string (df.sort_values(col_name, ascending='False') it does not error although it's meaningless, this could be quite confusing.
Describe the solution you'd like
Raise an error if ascending is equal to values that are not boolean
API breaking implications
Error raising
Describe alternatives you've considered
Warning is also good, but I think error makes more sense
Additional context
for an hour I was wondering why ascending='False'
is not working
isinstance('False', bool) :)
