Feature Request: Sort by or Filter on PPID

[gleventhal]

People often ask me how to do this, and the best I've got is to Parse on the cmdline or hit v and go through every process manually.
If you could sort by PPID that would allow you to search efficiently.

If you wanted to get "fancy", you could offer a pstree-style view, where children stem off the parent process in a tree, recursively.

I'd be happy with the simple thing though. Thanks!

Yeah, filter by PPID to determine which child process caused a parent process to wait would be really, really helpful.
