How do i list processes using the most cpu or memory using the bsd ps command?

The first line is the header line so using number 6.
--sort spec Specify sorting order. Sorting syntax is [+|-]key[,[+|-]key[,...]]. Choose a multi-letter key from the STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS section. The "+" is optional since default direction is increasing numerical or lexicographic order. Identical to k. For example: ps jax --sort=uid,-ppid, +pid
Memory.
$ ps aux --sort=pmem | head -n 6
CPU.
$ ps aux --sort=pcpu | head -n 6
