Incorrect sorting of Processes' Memory column

[awi]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

For instance: 904KiB appears before 13.6MiB. Sorting should be made based on a common bytes unit meassure, not a string character sorting.

1) Yes, it is reproductible, It behaves a little different when I reproducted.
2) Start System Monitor. Click on "Processes" tab, then sort by Memory (so far no problem, the sorting is ok).
  2.1) Start any other programs (I used Amarok on the example, but others cause the same efect) and the sorting is lost. See for instance red dot ones (I marked those manually with gimp) on screenshot. 96KiB, 21.1MiB, 952KiB, 196.5 MiB.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could be similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313001, should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the issue

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

This affects me too. Should I submit the bug report from my system? How do I submit a report without creating a new bug entry?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Theres no need to, there's a button at the top that says ' affects me too' please click on that. thanks.

Can anyone confirm this bug on Oneiric? I have tried to reproduce it, but the memory column sorting seems to be OK, first MiBs, then KiBs, properly sorted, see my screenshot attached.

[Robert Roth (evfool)]

Set as Fix released as the upstream report has been marked as a duplicate of a bug fixed in release 3.3.4, already available in Precise.

[Daniel d'Andrada (dandrader)]

In using Precise, where gnome-system-monitor version currently is 3.3.90, and this bug still occurs.
This bug report should be reopened.

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

Can't reproduce in 3.3.90-0ubuntu1.
Daniel, could you please provide more information (steps to reproduce, screenshot etc.)?
