List files with descending order

[Dewa Negara_4]

Hi All,

I need help on this. I need to list files with descending order (from bigger to smaller size)on a particular directory.

Anyone can tell me how I can do that?

Example :
# ll vg*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Apr 19 23:08 vg_check
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 5826 Apr 19 15:41 vgdisplay.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 232 Apr 19 23:03 vglv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 29 Apr 19 22:17 vgs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 41 Apr 19 23:08 vgstd_check

The output must be :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 5826 Apr 19 15:41 vgdisplay.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 232 Apr 19 23:03 vglv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 41 Apr 19 23:08 vgstd_check
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 29 Apr 19 22:17 vgs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Apr 19 23:08 vg_check


Thanks in advance.

Negara,

I think "ll |sort -k 5rn" should give you what you want.

Hi

I use

du -sk * | awk '{ printf("%8d %\n",$1,$2) }' | sort -r
