(who is using alias ps='ps aux --sort=start_time' for quite some time to 
work around this bug)

Ah, that works indeed.
But it's still odd that psmisc=22.5-1 has different behavior between a
2.6.18 kernel and a 2.6.22 kernel.

  What ps command are you running?
 
 usually ps aux

Confirmed here: a 2.6.18 kernel works, a 2.6.20 fails.

And actually with 2.6.20, even 

ps axu --sort=start

shows in pid order and not start order.

Bug#430427: /bin/ps: default sort order has changed

2007-06-25 Thread Andreas Beckmann 
Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

the default sort order has changed from start time to pid recently.
This could be caused by a kernel change between 2.6.18 and 2.6.21.

I'd prefer ps to sort it's output by start time again, so the most
recent process is at the end of the list, again.

Andreas

ps hasn't changed in months, so it is something else doing this.
