+        This method is useful when dealing with MultiIndex objects, allowing for
+        sorting at a specific level of the index. The function preserves the
+        relative ordering of data within the same level while sorting
+        the overall MultiIndex. The method provides flexibility with the `ascending`
+        parameter to define the sort order and with the `sort_remaining` parameter to
+        control whether the remaining levels should also be sorted. Sorting a
+        MultiIndex can be crucial when performing operations that require ordered
+        indices, such as grouping or merging datasets. The `na_position` argument is
+        important in handling missing values consistently across different levels.
