Where am I going wrong on the sorting? I feel I should know this and
I'm missing something obvious. . . .
But no matter what I key the sort on, it is always in pid order.

The only consolation I have is that the example on the man page does
worse:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ps jax --sort=uid,-ppid,+pid
ERROR: Unknown sort specifier.
Got the same thing, but the man page says that the default is the same
as "+" and is optional. That worked when I left the + off of pid.
