Eg: $ ( tr -d ' ' | sort -h ) << EOF
100.0 Kb 303 Mb 4.01 Gb 20 Mb EOF
100.0Kb 20Mb 303Mb 4.01Gb Works great with, eg, 'du -sh * | sort -h' Carl On Mon, 20 Sep 2021, mm1miq.d@gmail.com wrote:
Hello, The SORT command in GNU coreutils does not have a sort by DATA SIZE parameter. for example, to sort:- ----------- 100.0 Kb 303 Mb 4.01 Gb 20 Mb ----------- sorts output will be:- ----------- 303 Mb 100.0 Kb 20 Mb 4.01 Gb ----------- It would be nice if thier was a parameter that sorted by size so the output would be 100.0 Kb, 20 Mb, 303 Mb, 4.01 Gb Would be great if such a parameter was added.
