DOC: simply method='bfill'?

[kwhkim]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on main here

Location of the documentation

https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/user_guide/cookbook.html#cookbook-missing-data

Documentation problem

DOC says use df.reindex(df.index[::-1]).ffill()
but df.bfill() is available, maybe after some version? I don't know

Do we need to do df.reindex(df.index[::-1]).bfill() when index is alway sorted?

Suggested fix for documentation

replace df.reindex(df.index[::-1]).ffill() with df.bfill()

Your suggestion looks good to me. Would you like to file a PR?

[kwhkim]

yes, i'll replace df.reindex(df.index[::-1]).ffill() with df.bfill()
