It's right there in the man page:

-o <key>
Order the process display by sorting on <key> in descending order.  A +
or - can be prefixed to the key name to specify ascending or descending
order, respectively.  The supported keys are:
.
.
.
mem    Internal memory size.
rprvt  Resident private address space size.
purg   Purgeable memory size.
vsize  Total memory size.
vprvt  Private address space size.
kprvt  Private kernel memory size.
kshrd  Shared kernel memory size.
