|   I have a simple question to ask, ie when using du command, how can
|   can we have the listing sorted with the file size as sort key.
| 
|   I tried : du | +0 -1 but this will not give correct result.

du | sort -n      or     du | sort +0n

The -n option tells sort to compare by numerical magnitude.  10 precedes 2
lexically but 2 < 10 numerically.
