title: How do I Pass a List of Series to a Pandas DataFrame?
body: <p>I realize Dataframe takes a map of {'series_name':Series(data, index)}.  However, it automatically sorts that map even if the map is an OrderedDict().</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simple way to pass a list of Series(data, index, name=name) such that the order is preserved and the column names are the series.name?  Is there an easy way if all the indices are the same for all the series? </p>
  
  <p>I normally do this by just passing a numpy column_stack of series.values and specifying the column names.  However, this is ugly and in this particular case the data is strings not floats.</p>
