System Profiler - sort timeline vertically by priority?

A customer recently asked if it's possible to sort the timeline by priority in the System Profiler?

It seems it's not possible, but I think it would be quite cool & useful. He said that a tool from a competitor can do it
...

The downside would be that processes would be all mixed, but the upside would be that if you want to find out why your 
thread has been interrupted, and by whom, you only have to look one line up! Interrupts would be at the very top, low 
pri threads and idle thread at the very bottom.

Maybe something for the next release?

AW: System Profiler - sort timeline vertically by priority?

I think I disagree ...
This feature only makes sense if you have fixed priorities, as some simple environments have.
With QNX' priority inheritance (=floating priorities) this just doesn't make sense.
