I want to sort ps output by process CPU time (TIME column).I've tried:  ps -aux --sort cputime | tailbut it doesn't sort by cpu time.I'm running with:  ps --version procps version 3.2.7and kernel: 2.6.18
sorting ps output by CPU time on linux
linux;ps
I think that is not cputime but time that u want :)ps -aux --sort -timeJust post after --sort the exact name of the column that you want.with tail:ps -aux --sort +time | tail+-  for selecting order
