ps: enable sort by etimes

ps has two columns showing the same data which is elapsed time, just
the format is changed:
 etimes - elapsed time in seconds
 etime  - elapsed time in DD-hh:mm:ss

ps used to only sort by etime but not etimes, by making etimes
and alias of etime for sorting both flags work.
