Reverse order using command

Question

Is there a way i use the ps --sort option on a linux to display the processes in reverse order based on the process ID or is there another command i can use for this?

Answer 1

Ascending:

ps ax --sort +pid

Descending

ps ax --sort -pid

Answer 2

If that's the Linux ps command we're discussing,

ps --sort='-pid'

Answer 3

you can use this also for sorting the pid

ps -ax | sort -n

ps -ax is for display all process with pid. sort -n for numeric sort

Answer 4

You can use tac command also

tac command print files in reverse

---

ps -aux --sort -pid

and

ps -aux | tac
