Re: does "df " can list sort by size

[Evan Hunt]

Is there some reason you *need* to use the -h option to df?

If not, then just use an option that *doesn't* format the disk
size with M's and G's, such as -k.  Then this will do what you
want:

        df -Pk | tail -n +2 | sort -k3,3n

Or if you want to preserve the header, use a script like this:

        #!/bin/sh
        df -Pk > /tmp/df.$$
        (head -1; sort -k3,3n) < /tmp/df.$$
        rm -f /tmp/df.$$
