Well, one way to do something like this:
du -s * | sort -n | tail -n $NUMBER
...will give you the top $NUMBER of space users; not exactly what you asked
for but it will cut down on some verbage. For something better I'd probably
have to resort to a perl script, which is certainly doable but slightly more
involved.
Just doing "du -s * | sort -n > $FILENAME" will at least save you from having
to run du over and over again. Then you can manipulate the file any way you
want, re-sort it some other way, or what have you.
Or you can write that perl script to work on the file instead of the output
from du...
