#81385 — No sort by memory in top command?

Hello.

Is it me or does Mac OS X's Terminal's top command not have a sort by 
memory like in Linux? I cannot find anything about it with parameters, 
keys, etc. online and in its man guide. I know, I can use Activity 
Monitor GUI, but I'm old school and use Terminal a lot. FYI, I have 
not installed MacPort/HomeBrew/Fink yet due to other issues. ;)

Thank you in advance. :)

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.

Ah thanks, I missed "mem" part in man guide. I was looking at "?" help 
and online.

You are very confused. OS X's Terminal does not have a top command.
DARWIN has a top command which can be accessed via any terminal or shell
interface.

man top:
       -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  sup-
       ported 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.
