du –max-depth=1 $PWD | sort -n -r
du -H –max-depth=1 $PWD

“-H” – produce human readable format sizes (like: 1K 10M 1G)

A good and short one liner using xargs

du -s ./* | sort -n| cut -f 2-|xargs -i du -sh {}

This will sort the folders according to size and display them in human readable format… to reverse the list
use sort -nr option.

ls | perl -ne ‘$a=$_;chomp $a;$b=”mutt -s \”poza $a\” -a $a <email> < message.txt\n”;print $b;`$b`’
