You seem to have confused the 'ps' command with 'bash' and reported
something that you think should be different about 'ps' to the 'bash'
bug list.  Wrong mailing list.  This is the bug reporting list for
bash and not for ps.

Also please do not send graphical screenshots to mailing lists.  Your
109K image was only a few bytes of actual information.  In the future
if you want to show text output then simply cut and paste the text
output.  Do not include an image capture of the text.

As to your 'ps' issue, why would 'ps' sort by priority?  The man page
for 'ps' clearly says "Output is unsorted by default."  If you want it
sorted then you will have to read the 'ps' man page and add your
preferred sort order.

If you wish to followup on the ps issue please do so on the
help-gnu-utils@gnu.org mailing list and not here on the bash bug list.
The help-gnu-utils list is a relatively generic mailing list for
random help discussion about the utilities and the discussion would be
fine there.
