No it's not the default sort order on my system and it does not toggle ascending or decending when hitting "P" again (like one would expect).
Any ideas on how I can see the processes using the largest CPU % with the TOP command? It is crucial that I monitor this right now because my VPS is having issues, I just need to know how to see it! All help is appreciated :-)

tifier to the list of disabled applets. you may use the following command (Note: Depending on when this is set, a logout may be required
to take effect) %gconftool-2 --type list --list-type string --set /apps/panel/global/disabled_applets [OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet]
The method to disable Monitor application:
You may just remove the package containing it on their servers, or just change the permissions on the binary: %chmod 700 /bin/gnome-system-
monitor.
