Re: qshell, ls, sort by size

almost forgot... if you need it in the original ls format, pipe the output to cut:

ls -al | awk '{printf "%11.11d %s\n", $5, $0;}' | sort | cut -c 11-

Well, maybe, but in the mean time... AWK to the rescue...

ls -al | awk '{printf "%11.11d %s\n", $5, $0;}' | sort

for ascending, and:

ls -al | awk '{printf "%11.11d %s\n", $5, $0;}' | sort -r

descending. Works in PASE and QSH.
