Who had this great idea to auto-sort by the influence of energy instead of memory?

This task manager is a great idea, but totally useless at the moment (without sorting).

This is a solution for Android or possibly for mobile devices. Most users do not use many tabs / add-ons when using an accumulator device. I really want to know how much people use about:performance when powered by a battery. Each time it opens, 1% of the battery is dead. xD

But many people use a huge number of tabs / addons with limited memory. Since v57, Firefox is the most memory-intensive application I've ever used (except Adobe Suite) (3 to 15 GB of memory).

Until the release of the Discard API - It was IMPOSSIBLE to run Firefox for more than 24 hours without restarting the browser to clear approximately 10GB of wasted memory. Since Discard API, I can use processCount -1 instead of 4. (100+ Tabs)


The ability to sort by columns makes this great feature useful and should be used for months !! 
The possibility to first sort Tab / Addons and then memory / power consumption would be the crown. But lets stay at the important fixes first.
