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 | xxx:nfs <-> ggg:933 1343 1176990 1666 1157928 3009 2334918 yyy:51290 <-> ccc:http-alt 1104 1004903 1104 72864 2208 1077767 hhh:nfs <-> mmm:919 687 49210 1334 1997824 2021 2047034

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

Greetings
