Sort top command by cpu usage and set to default in OS X

Read Original

This article addresses a difference between Linux and OS X command line behavior, specifically the `top` command's default sorting. It provides a step-by-step guide to create a shell alias (`alias top="top -o cpu"`) in the `.profile` file to make CPU usage the default sort order, saving users from typing extra parameters each time. It also mentions the alternative of using `htop`.
