I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get Task Manager to open to the Processes tab with the columns sorted by most CPU time on top.

When one closes Task Manager it will open with the last selected tab open, so that part is easy.

But the Processes tab opens in a sort order I can't figure out.

Does anyone know if the Tab/Sort Column can be specified in a command/shortcut line?

----------

Now I see it sorts the processes by descending PID number.

I do use clicking the column headers to sort them the way I want.

What I'm looking for is to have Task Manager remember the way it was sorted (so I don't have to click the CPU column header twice each time I open Task Manager).

Explorer windows (folders) for instance remember whether they were last sorted by Name or Type.

I wonder if there's some way to have Task Manager do the same.

Task Manager does remember which tab was last open, but not the sort order.

Perhaps shortcut/command line switches can do that but I haven't been able to find out what they might be (yet).
