It'd be great if "sort" had an option to sort by the "-h" output of the "du" command.
For example the current output of du is alphabetized by filename with no options to sort: $ du -h --max-depth=1 4.0K ./bin 52M ./code 765M ./Desktop 12K ./mail 17M ./music 124K ./PDF 5.5G ./photos 153M ./public_html 652K ./ufc 7.3G . What I'm envisioning is something like this: $ du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -h 4.0K ./bin 12K ./mail 124K ./PDF 652K ./ufc 17M ./music 52M ./code 153M ./public_html 765M ./Desktop 5.5G ./photos 7.3G . Seems like it'd be pretty easy and really useful. What do you think?
