It's entirely possible this is a recent development, but "ps -o cmd --sort etime" seems to do what you're asking for.


sadly that wasn't available, and researching an easier way to do it without that was met with pages and pages of people saying to do that...


There's literally an example in 'man ps' that does exactly this. It's right there in the output formatting section.

    ps kstart_time -ef
