I see it too. It only seems to happen with the Memory column though.

Happens with the %CPU column as well for me (this is on a quad-core x64 setup).

Thank you for your bug report. Could you make a screenshot of the issue?

Just after sorting, order is ok

... then after 1 min, values changed and order is not maintained correctly anymore
