Hi,

The ps command doesn't sort correctly when I use the "etimes"
specifier, but it works well with "etime" (without the "s" at
the end). For instances, with "k -etimes" and "k +etimes", I
have the same order:

root@jessie:~# ps o 'etimes,pid' k -etimes
ELAPSED   PID
  23669   403
  23669   404
  23669   405
  23669   406
  23669   407
  23639   506
  15396   617
   9408   652
   1124 11517
    482 11565
    482 11566
    467 11590
    242 11593
      0 11625

root@jessie:~# ps o 'etimes,pid' k +etimes
ELAPSED   PID
  23673   403
  23673   404
  23673   405
  23673   406
  23673   407
  23643   506
  15400   617
   9412   652
   1128 11517
    486 11565
    486 11566
    471 11590
    246 11593
      0 11626

But with "k -etime" and "k +etime" (without the "s" at the
end), it works well:

root@jessie:~# ps o 'etimes,pid' k -etime
ELAPSED   PID
  23921   403
  23921   404
  23921   405
  23921   406
  23921   407
  23891   506
  15648   617
   9660   652
   1376 11517
    734 11565
    734 11566
    719 11590
    494 11593
      0 11635

root@jessie:~# ps o 'etimes,pid' k +etime
ELAPSED   PID
      0 11636
    505 11593
    730 11590
    745 11565
    745 11566
   1387 11517
   9671   652
  15659   617
  23902   506
  23932   403
  23932   404
  23932   405
  23932   406
  23932   407

Remark: I have exactly the same problem with ps in Debian
Wheezy (ie with procps version 3.3.3).

Regards.
