The standard way to sort a directory is by using the sort utility, as
IBM suggested.
The standard way to calculate sizes on Unix systems is with the du

This is a case where I think the ubiquity of the GNU version of ls would
qualify it as the "standard". I don't have any hard numbers for the
number of installations using the GNU ls vs. other versions, but I'm
guessing GNU has the upper hand. Of course GNU isn't the official
standard, but I personally consider GNU to be "the standard way of doing
things" now. I would like to see IBM adopt the GNU ls.
