Different users can appear as different colors too.
Within this, processes are arranged by userid with lower number uids appearing towards the top. In general, the order of children is the order in which they were spawned, with the older processes appearing towards towards the top. A goal of the program is to visually give a picture of what's going on. So when possible, processes are kept close to their parents so one needn't scroll around too much and so that there isn't a lot of redrawing as processes are created or destroyed.
