With dynamic sort keys, you can use <event.field> as a sort key.  Those
dynamic keys are checked and created on demand.  For instance, below is
to sort by next_pid field on the same data file.

   $ perf report -s comm,sched:sched_switch.next_pid --stdio
   ...
   # Overhead  Command            next_pid
   # ........  ...............  ..........

       20.86%  swapper               17773
        6.62%  netctl-auto               0
        5.25%  swapper                 109

        1.98%  Xephyr                    0
        1.98%  swapper                6524

        1.17%  swapper                 233

Multiple dynamic sort keys are also supported:

   $ perf report -s 
comm,sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm --stdio
   ...
   # Overhead  Command            next_pid         next_comm
   # ........  ...............  ..........  ................
   #
       20.86%  swapper               17773   transmission-gt
        9.64%  transmission-gt           0         swapper/0
        9.16%  transmission-gt           0         swapper/2
        5.25%  swapper                 109      kworker/0:1H
        5.21%  kworker/0:1H              0         swapper/0
        2.14%  netctl-auto               0         swapper/2
        1.98%  netctl-auto               0         swapper/0
        1.98%  swapper                6524            Xephyr
        1.98%  swapper               27478       netctl-auto
        1.78%  transmission-gt           0         swapper/3
        1.53%  Xephyr                    0         swapper/0
        1.29%  netctl-auto               0         swapper/1
        1.29%  swapper               27476       netctl-auto
        1.21%  netctl-auto               0         swapper/3
        1.17%  swapper                 233    irq/33-iwlwifi

Note that pid 0 exists for each cpu so have comm of 'swapper/N'.

This is available on 'perf/dynamic-sort-v1' branch in my tree

Any comments are welcome, thanks!

I'll look at the patches for style, but the idea is so nice and natural
I thought about blind merging it :-)


yes, that is a cool feature.

For scheduling tracepoints the analysis could be added to perf-sched to ease the burden of the command line syntax.
