Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] tshark -z conv, type no sorting according to the total number of bytes

[Markus Amend <markusa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

in manual to tshark "-z conv,type" function stands:

"The table is presented with one line for each conversation and displays 
the number of packets/bytes in each direction as well as the total 
number of packets/bytes. The table is sorted according to the total 
number of bytes."

Tested with "tshark -r pcap_file -z conv, ip", "tshark -r pcap_file -z 
conv, udp", "tshark -r pcap_file -z conv, tcp", there is no sorting to 
the total number of bytes, but to the toal number of frames.

Look at:

                                                                          | <-      | |       ->      | |     Total     |
                                              | Frames  Bytes | | 
Frames  Bytes | | Frames  Bytes |

This is verified with tshark v1.0.5 and v1.6.5.
