Can a wmic processes table (within the command prompt window) be sorted by a value?

I've been exploring various options, such as the /format flag, however it appears that sorting is only possible in XML or HTML output. I would like to sort within command prompt itself. It seems that even TaskList cannot do this (and I would prefer to use wmic since it seems to perform faster).

An example of a command to run would be wmic process get name,processid,workingsetsize. Processes appear to be sorted by processid, but it would make much more sense (in my use case, at least) to sort by name or memory usage (workingsetsize).

As requested, here's an example wmic process table output:

Name ProcessId WorkingSetSize
System Idle Process 0 20480
System 4 765952
smss.exe 384 393216
csrss.exe 500 2850816
wininit.exe 596 774144
csrss.exe 612 6230016
winlogon.exe 672 2023424
services.exe 696 7192576
lsass.exe 704 9814016
svchost.exe 820 5287936
svchost.exe 872 7454720
atiesrxx.exe 936 1028096


Obviously, process lists can get very long, so I've cut it off there.
