Regarding sorting

I have the following file. Its an output from a du command with certain conditions attached to it. I used du -ah as I need the 1st column to look human readable. sort -nr is not giving me the output I need, nor is sort -dr. Please help out.

Code:
 cat testout

 121K   ./OMautomation/pvd
  14M   ./OMautomation/pqms
  14M   ./OMautomation
  14M   .
   5K   ./shell
   5K   ./backup
   3K   ./dir2


I need the file to be re ordered as

Code:
  14M   ./OMautomation/pqms
  14M   ./OMautomation
  14M   .
 121K   ./OMautomation/pvd
    5K   ./shell
    5K   ./backup
    3K   ./dir2

VGS(8)							      System Manager's Manual							    VGS(8)

NAME
vgs - report information about volume groups SYNOPSIS
vgs [--aligned] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--nameprefixes] [--noheadings] [--nosuffix] [-o|--options [+]Field[,Field]] [-O|--sort [+|-]Key1[,[+|-]Key2[,...]]] [-P|--partial] [--rows] [--separator Separator] [--unbuffered] [--units hsbkmgtHKMGT] [--unquoted] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]] DESCRIPTION
vgs produces formatted output about volume groups. OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. --aligned Use with --separator to align the output columns. --nameprefixes Add an "LVM2_" prefix plus the field name to the output. Useful with --noheadings to produce a list of field=value pairs that can be used to set environment variables (for example, in udev (7) rules). --noheadings Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of output. Useful if grepping the output. --nosuffix Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with --units (except h and H) if processing the output. -o, --options Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with '+' to append to the default selection of columns. Column names are: vg_fmt, vg_uuid, vg_name, vg_attr, vg_size, vg_free, vg_sysid, vg_extent_size, vg_extent_count, vg_free_count, max_lv, max_pv, pv_count, lv_count, snap_count, vg_seqno, vg_tags, vg_mda_count, vg_mda_free, and vg_mda_size. Any "vg_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in either pvs (8) or lvs (8) can also be chosen, but columns cannot be taken from both at the same time. Use -o help to view the full list of fields available. The vg_attr bits are: 1 Permissions: (w)riteable, (r)ead-only 2 Resi(z)eable 3 E(x)ported 4 (p)artial 5 Allocation policy: (c)ontiguous, c(l)ing, (n)ormal, (a)nywhere, (i)nherited 6 (c)lustered -O, --sort Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces the default selection. Precede any column with - for a reverse sort on that column. --rows Output columns as rows. --separator Separator String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the output. --unbuffered Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the columns properly. --units hsbkmgtHKMGT All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (s)ectors, (b)ytes, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes. Cap- italise to use multiples of 1000 (S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify custom (u)nits e.g. --units 3M --unquoted When used with --nameprefixes, output values in the field=value pairs are not quoted. SEE ALSO
