How to sort top result on virtual memory on Redhat Linux?

  • 772

There is an interactive key "M" to sort by memory, which seems to be sorting on resident memory. Is there a way to sort on virtual memory? I happen to be working on Redhat Linux, but the question is not specific to this distribution.

linux redhat top virtual-memory sort

    You get a list of things you can sort by by pressing O. Virtual segment size is option o, so you can get what you want by pressing Oo<Enter>.

  2. Try pressing F or O in top, that should allow you to select the column you want to sort by.
