Top unix command ascending order [closed]
Using F you'd get you to the menu of fields. Using s would set what field would do the sorting. Press ESC to escape from the menu then to change Ascending/Descending mode, use R.
Did you have a look at other utilities ? I personally like htop which I found more friendly and easy to use than the traditional top.
Install
sudo apt-get install htopRun
htopActions are available through F1 to F10 keys.

If you type ? in top, it gives you help that tells you that R toggles the sort order.
