When you identify a process that's causing a problem, either because it's hogging lots of CPU cycles or memory, or because it's highlighted in the Activity Monitor as having crashed, you need to kill it. To flip the order, so that processes consuming the least of the resource are at the top, click the arrow next to Memory or CPU above the list of processes. By default, processes are ordered starting with the one that's consuming the most of the resource at the top, so you can quickly see where problems are occurring or likely to occur. So, clicking on CPU lists tasks in the order of how much CPU capacity they're using. Clicking on any of those tabs organizes processes according to the percentage of the resource they are using. You'll notice there are five tabs across the top of the Activity Monitor window: CPU, Energy, Memory, Disk, and Network. When it appears in Spotlight, hit Return to launch it. Alternatively, press Command and spacebar to call up Spotlight, then start typing Activity Monitor.
