When I run du and pipe it to sort -k 1,1 the results are ordered by collating sequence. Is there a way of ordering it by numeric value, e.g. 123 would appear after 24? Thanks.

Add the '-n' flag to your sort.

Re: Sort by numeric value
Hi,
The -n option in sort allows you to sort by numeric value.
If you wish to sort by increasing value:
# du | sort -n
If you wish to sort by decreasing value:
# du | sort -r -n
Hope this helps. Regards.
