Hi Friends,
am looking for sorting the files size in GB,The bigger file should be first.
I have searched on the google for sorting the files by size in GB on solaris.
I found so many commands,but all the commands are sorting the size nicely bytes wise in order.
but for the same files when am trying in GB its showing incorrect results,I mean its taking the higer no. first while sorting,its not caring even though its in MB, KB or GB.you can see below example i tried with the command du -sh * | sort -rn | more and its showing below output.
520 KB
200 GB
180 MB
40 GB
I should get the output like below
200 GB
40 GB
180 MB
520 KB
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with this

Cygwin? Cygwin runs on (Windows) console, so it doesn't support Russian. It's not a problem with ls.

Thanks so much for the post. How do I display file info with both the full date (including year) as well as the time last modified. It seems to either display full date without time or only the day and time e.g. Feb 8 11:48
I actually need time created as well as time modified.
Thanks :)
