"When selecting a Processes column for sorting and the down-arrow icon is displayed Process Name, Status, Nice, ID, and Memory sort low-to-high top-to-bottom (towards the bottom of the screen).

However the %CPU column when displaying the down-arrow icon sorts high-to-low top-to-bottom.

When the up-arrow icon is displayed the situation is reversed; %CPU is low-to-high top-to-bottom and the others high-to-low top-to-bottom."
Comment 1 Benoît Dejean 2007-09-21 08:14:50 UTC 
This is mostly a GTK+ problem: you can override the sort method, but you can't configure the default sort order (asc or desc). This is not fixable without reopening http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310804
Comment 2 Jakob Unterwurzacher 2009-11-18 13:10:39 UTC 
Seems to be fixed in 2.26. CPU sorting is consistent with the other columns and nautilus.

Still somewhat broken in 2.28 on both Fedora and Ubuntu, although now it is broken in a different way.  The arrow points correctly in the order of increasing value, however the default for %CPU and Memory should be to show decreasing order on the first click, not the second click.

Bug 557122 is a dup of the remaining issue, please merge this bug into that one.  Thanks.
