BUG: invalid result of reindex on columns after unstack with Period data #60980 #61055
Description
Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
series1 = pd.DataFrame(
[(0, "s2", pd.Period(2022)), (0, "s1", pd.Period(2021))],
columns=["A", "B", "C"]
).set_index(["A", "B"])["C"]
series2 = series1.astype(str)
print(series1.unstack("B").reindex(["s2"], axis=1))
print(series2.unstack("B").reindex(["s2"], axis=1))Issue Description
The example code prints
B s2
A
0 2021
B s2
A
0 2022
Expected Behavior
Expect the result for both pd.Period and str data to be 2022:
B s2
A
0 2022
B s2
A
0 2022
(actually observed with older Pandas 2.0.3)
