A 2019 update on this 2014 question that ranked highly when searching for this topic is that htop has this built in now, and in the current version 2.2.0, simply pressing t in the default view generates a process hierarchy.

Looks like Glances should have what you need:
glances --tree
And then sort using commands m,t, i etc. Full command reference

Not with htop (and probably with any other alternative) as both views are mutually exclusive: either you list processes sorted by memory, or respect the PPID/PID tree view. You can have both at the same time.

In htop version 3 (I believe, 3.0.3 to be exact) you can sort by other columns than pid even in tree mode.
See the changelog.
It's not perfect, because it doesn't aggregate memory from sub processes, but it's a nice feature nonetheless.
