Sorted tree view in htop or alternative?

I am running a Debian flavor of Linux, and I use htop to keep track of memory usage, since it is more detailed than top. I can't seem to get it to sort by memory and display process trees at the same time. Is there a way to do this with htop or an alternative?

Solution 1:

Looks like Glances should have what you need:

glances --tree

And then sort using commands m,t, i etc. Full command reference

Solution 2:

A 2019 update on this 2014 question that ranked highly when searching for this topic is that htop has this built in now, and in the current version 2.2.0, simply pressing t in the default view generates a process hierarchy.

Solution 3:

Not with htop (and probably with any other alternative) as both views are mutually exclusive: either you list processes sorted by memory, or respect the PPID/PID tree view. You can have both at the same time.
