Sort order of Processes %CPU column reversed (compared to Nice, ID, Memory, etc.)

[TJ]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

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.

Fixed in upstream. As of 2.28.0 (ubuntu 10.04), sorting is consistent.

Hi,

the bug is not fixed as of Ubuntu 10.10. Now all the columns show the contrary to what they are sort.

Attached is an image where it is sorted in descent but the icon shows it is sorting in ascent. The same happens with other columns.

I had the problem of all columns in the past, too. But I don't remember which version it was. Since then everything was ok but now I have the problem that the CPU usage column is reversed, too. I use Ubuntu 14.04 64 Bit and think this problem didn't exist in the last few versions of Ubuntu.

Why is the status of this bug report "invalid"?

[Alexander (vredda)]

The same goes for 'Resident Memory' column too.

It's been a few years and I still don't get why the status of this bug report is "invalid". The bug clearly still exists.
