IIUC vmctl is just displaying it in the order coming back from the
kernel ioctl.

A similar request might be made for bgpd, ospfd, etc - rather than
reaching around from systat into more parts of the tree, I'd use one
of the 'watch' variants for an updating display, e.g.

pkg_add iwatch
iwatch vmctl status

vmctl status - output order

[Jiri B]

I can't read C but how do you sort vmctl status output?

host1# vmctl status
   ID   PID VCPUS  MAXMEM  CURMEM TTYOWNER NAME
6 99046 12.0G698M   ttyp4jirib build1
1 93692 12.0G917M   ttyp7jirib jirib1
7 - 1512M   -   -jirib archive1

Not by ID, not by PID, names order with preference of alive VMs?
Wouldn't be ID best for order?

It would be great if there would be systat vmm (?) with similar
output and refreshing data.
