This works on all SysV-compatible systems:

ps -elf | sort -n -k 10,10

And for HP-UX you should bookmark

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

Search for Package name top,
download the top-3.6.1 package for your platform,
and its dependent packages,
gunzip and
swinstall -s /absolute/path/to/package.depot \*

and start
/usr/local/bin/top -o size

provided it installs in /usr/local/bin.
