+        For an ordered MultiIndex, compute slice bound
+        that corresponds to given label.
+
+        Returns leftmost (one-past-the-rightmost if `side=='right') position
+        of given label.
+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        label : object or tuple of objects
+        side : {'left', 'right'}
+        kind : {'loc', 'getitem'}
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        int
+            Index of label.
+
+        Notes
+        -----
+        This method only works if level 0 index of the MultiIndex is lexsorted.
+
+        Examples
+        --------
+        >>> mi = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([list('abbc'), list('gefd')])
+
+        Get the locations from the leftmost 'b' in the first level
+        until the end of the multiindex:
+
+        >>> mi.get_slice_bound('b', side="left", kind="loc")
+        1
+
+        Like above, but if you get the locations from the rightmost
+        'b' in the first level and 'f' in the second level:
+
+        >>> mi.get_slice_bound(('b','f'), side="right", kind="loc")
+        3
