htop --sort-key PID

appears to work. Found it via htop --help.

htop --sort-key help

shows a list of all the column keys.

Press F6 and select PID...

Is there another way without having to press F6? – OSX NINJA Apr 27 '11 at 5:37

That causes the program to crash. – OSX NINJA Apr 27 '11 at 5:47

@OSX It works on my machine and is documented in htop's man page. It would work if you didn't have another issue. – Daniel Beck♦ Apr 27 '11 at 5:48
I'm going to upvote you only because I think the OP is a little stingy here - there's nothing wrong with F6, and almost keyboard where it doesn't exist (with few exceptions). – new123456 Apr 27 '11 at 22:55
