ls/find 之类的通通不行，还是对需要 du 命令的输出进行处理才能达到想要的效果

第一选择是du命令（GNU coreutils >= 7.5）：

$ du --version
du (GNU coreutils) 8.4
du -sh * | sort -h
du -sh --max-depth=1 * | sort -hr

其它的选择还是du命令：

$ du --version
du (GNU coreutils) 8.4
$ du -sh * | sort -h
$ du -sh --max-depth=1 * | sort -hr

$ du --max-depth=1 | sort -nr | cut -f2- | xargs du -hs


$ du -B1 | sort -nr  |awk '{sum=$1;hum[1024**3]="G";hum[1024**2]="M";hum[1024]="K"; for(x=1024**3; x>=1024; x/=1024){ if (sum>=x) { printf "%.1f%s\t\t",sum/x,hum[x];print $2;break }}}'
$ du --max-depth=1 -B1 | sort -nr  |awk '{sum=$1;hum[1024**3]="G";hum[1024**2]="M";hum[1024]="K"; for(x=1024**3; x>=1024; x/=1024){ if (sum>=x) { printf "%.1f%s\t\t",sum/x,hum[x];print $2;break }}}'

$ du --max-depth=1 -h | awk '{printf "%s %08.2f\t%s\n", index("KMG", substr($1, length($1))), substr($1, 0, length($1)-1), $0}' | sort -r | cut -f2,3


$ du --max-depth=1 -h | perl -e 'sub h{%h=(K=>10,M=>20,G=>30);($n,$u)=shift=~/([0-9.]+)(\D)/; return $n*2**$h{$u}}print sort{h($b)<=>h($a)}<>;'
$ du --max-depth=1 -h | perl -e'%h=map{/.\s/;99**(ord$&&7)-$`,$_}`du -h`;die@h{sort%h}'

$ sudo apt-get install libnumber-bytes-human-perl
$ du --max-depth=1 -B1 | sort -nr | perl -MNumber::Bytes::Human=format_bytes -F'\t' -lane 'print format_bytes($F[0])."\t".$F[1]'

$ du --max-depth=1 -h | perl -e '@l{ K, M, G } = ( 1 .. 3 );
print sort {
    ($aa) = $a =~ /(\w)\s+/;
    ($bb) = $b =~ /(\w)\s+/;
    $l{$aa} <=> $l{$bb} || $a <=> $b
} <>'
