+   The general output of ``page_owner_full.txt`` is as follows:
+
+	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
+	PFN XXX ...
+	 // Detailed stack
+
+	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
+	PFN XXX ...
+	 // Detailed stack
+
+   The ``page_owner_sort`` tool ignores ``PFN`` rows, puts the remaining rows
+   in buf, uses regexp to extract the page order value, counts the times
+   and pages of buf, and finally sorts them according to the times.
+
    See the result about who allocated each page
-   in the ``sorted_page_owner.txt``.
+   in the ``sorted_page_owner.txt``. General output:
+
+	XXX times, XXX pages:
+	Page allocated via order XXX, ...
+	 // Detailed stack
+
+   By default, ``page_owner_sort`` is sorted according to the times of buf.
+   If you want to sort by the pages nums of buf, use the ``-m`` parameter.
