How do I transform a matrix into a vector?

Question:

I have this matrix that contains x number of products and feedback rankings of 5 different categories.
This matrix is represented in a Pandas DataFrame like this:

index Bad ratings Slightly bad ratings Neutral ratings Slightly good ratings Good ratings
product1 9 0 0 0 0
product2 0 2 2 2 0
product3 2 1 3 0 0
product4 1 1 1 1 1
product5 0 0 0 4 4

How do I transform a matrix such as this to show the overall rank of each product?
E.g. like this where 0 is the worst and 9 is the best:

index Overall ratings
product1 1
product2 3
product3 2
product4 3
product5 4

Answers:

Something like this?

df['Bad ratings'] *= -2
df['Slightly bad ratings'] *= -1
df['Good ratings'] *= 2

df.set_index('index').sum(1).rank().sort_values()

Output:

index
product1     1.0
product3     2.0
product4     3.0
product2     4.0
product5     5.0
