Sun 05 Nov 2006 09:24:45 PM UTC, comment #1:  This is a really useful feature IMHO. Actually, I made a similar patch myself and was just checking whether it had already been done. As it is just a small change and no collisions with other options seem to exist, I would really like to see this included in a standard release. I am using my patched version of sort quite often with this option.	HB <howkey>
Mon 02 Feb 2004 09:06:47 PM UTC, original submission:   Patch for sort against gnu coreutils-5.0 to sort human readable file sizes as used by `df -h' and `du -h' (e.g. 12K, 3.4M, 87G). The option -h or --human-numeric-sort is added and documented. The implementation could use some work which I'm willing to do, if you're interested. e.g.: du -h /usr | sort -h | tail -n 4 338M    /usr/lib/openoffice 1.1G    /usr/lib 1.1G    /usr/share 3.0G    /usr	Anonymous

 

(Note: upload size limit is set to 16384 kB, after insertion of the required escape characters.)
