Can I somehow modify htop's default view to display processes sorted by CPU usage? I want htop to "remember" my view/sort method.

If it's relevant, I'm currently on Xubuntu 13.10.

Run htop, press F6, select CPU%.

Quit by using F10

If it doesn't remember your settings check your ~/.config/htop/htoprc file if it is writable by your user. You might make it writable like this:

chown $USER ~/.config/htop/htoprc

Or you can try removing it and let htop generate a new one, maybe the old one is corrupted somehow.

rm ~/.config/htop/htoprc
