Of course sorting is in the domain of the sort program. Try this: ls -log | sort -k 3n,3 Or with sort 7.5 or newer you can sort using human sizes. ls -logh | sort -k 3h,3 But this feature is built into ls. See the --sort=WORD documentation. info coreutils 'ls invocation' Try these: ls -log --sort=size ls -logh --sort=size ls -Slogh This is probably my preferred one. ls -Srlogh Bob
