>>> import cudf
>>> idx1 = cudf.Index([2, 1, 3, 4])
>>> idx1
Int64Index([2, 1, 3, 4], dtype='int64')
>>> idx2 = cudf.Index([3, 4, 5, 6])
>>> idx2
Int64Index([3, 4, 5, 6], dtype='int64')
>>> idx1.difference(idx2)
Int64Index([1, 2], dtype='int64')
>>> idx1.difference(idx2, sort=False)
Int64Index([2, 1], dtype='int64')
