Summary

0004090: improve the dumptrafficmeasure ccmd's sorting

Description

dumptrafficmeasure is a handy tool for finding and optimizing bandwidth hungry actors/scripts

said tool could itself be optimized by listing actors/scripts by their traffic, as opposed to having to scour a potentially long list of scrambled entries, we could instead just glance at the first (or last?) few entries

Additional Information

other ideas from discord:

Trillster: ascending order may be more ideal for console, given it'll only show the most recent lines if you've got a bunch of different actors in play
Trillster: so the highest count actors would always show at the bottom of the list

Kaminsky: There could be an optional parameter to order entries either in ascending or descending order.

there was also a bit about color coding the traffic values depending on size but i feel thatll get complicated, and not all consoles display color

Notes
(0022706) WaTaKiD (updater) 2023-01-20 05:37	Kaminsky: Something else worth mentioning that wasn't discussed here or in the ticket: if there's no actor or script traffic dump entries, then it shouldn't print the "Network traffic (in bytes) caused by actor code pointers:" or "Network traffic (in bytes) caused by ACS scripts:" messages. Kaminsky: If there's no traffic dump at all, then it should probably print something like "there's no network traffic dump available".

(0022707) Kaminsky (developer) 2023-01-20 05:45	Samuzero15tlh: could be possible to add the number of actors that are causing the traffic delays? Perhaps this could also be useful information to include in the traffic dump?
