It seems like a very useful feature. I see in the source code that you asked for feedback on sorting and filtering and I think both would be very useful. I use a nice extension to Dired that lets me resort the listing on different fields. I type `s t' to sort on time, , `s s' to sort on size, etc. Something similar could be done here, `s c' to sort on command name, `s m' to sort on memory, `s C' on CPU etc. Filtering, or marking using a regexp, would also be useful. The same commands as in Dired can be used. `% m' to mark lines where COMMAND matches a certain regexp, for example, `t' to toggle marks, `k' to kill (remove visibly) lines. If I had that I think I would use proced.el and Emacs instead of `ps -eaf | grep XYZ' in a Shell.
