Unfortunalety, this is not what is needed by MatoX23. He wants process ID's to be sorted by means of CPU time. Please consider, that, in your code, "1000" is lexicographically smaller than "5". Have a look at renee's posting, were he pointed out, that the "Schwartzian Transformation" will do the trick.
