Subject:   head -r3418363: top -opid process list order is rather odd (top -Saopid example shown)

=46rom my from=3Dsource head -r3418363 context, top with -opid does not
seem to sort in a coherent order, not time of process creation order
(either direction) and not in just-PID numeric order (either
direction). For example:

(Basically the Pine64+ 2GB [aarch64] above was idle after boot other =
than
some runs of top.)

I see this oddity across architectures, for example amd64, powerpc64,
aarch64, armv7.
