Tree view is sorted by pid only, sorry. I'm afraid moving entire subtrees based on other criteria (such as CPU%) would make the screen unbearably jumpy.


Is there a way to combine all the processes with the same command name?

I have a ton of mariadb processes (I don't even know if this is normal, but it seems to be working just fine) and it gets tiring having to scroll them just to glance the numbers on other processes.

Those might be threads. It's best to disable showing threads (F2 - Display options - Hide kernel/userland threads) because they give little information over just the process.


Thank you so much.


On tree view (F5), you can collapse and expand sub-trees (with "+" and "-", or just click twice on them).


The processes may be forks. Java does this too. Try pushing F5 and see if that cleans things up.
