csort metric_spec

Sort the callers-callees display by the specified metric. The string metric_spec is one of the metric keywords described in Metric Lists, as shown in this example.

% csort a.user

If metric-spec is omitted, the current callers-callees sort metric is displayed.

The csort metric must be either an attributed metric, or a static metric. If multiple metrics are specified, sort by the first visible one that matches.

Whenever metrics are set, either explicitly or by default, the caller-callee sort metric is set based on the function metrics as follows:

• If sorting is by a dynamic metric, either inclusive or exclusive, sort by the corresponding attributed metric.

• If sorting is by a static metric, sort by it.

This command tells the er_print utility to sort the callers-callees display by attributed user CPU time. When the command finishes, the sort metric is printed.
