Suggestion for further improvement:

perf top --hierarchy -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,prev_pid,next_comm,next_pid

Will have four levels, would be nice to have just two, perhaps expressed
via:

perf top --hierarchy -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm+prev_pid,next_comm+next_pid

Where '+' would work as sort order separator, just like ',' but would
have special meaning for --hierarchy.

What do you think?
