Which part is showing this? Is the order too high? Unusual mode?

Here it is:

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           2.0G        567M         77M         19M        1.3G        1.3G
Swap:          4.8G         24M        4.7G

Looks quite normal to me.
