Hai ,

In unix we are going to sort it out all the directories and files based on size of the file. For that we have to use this command ls –al | sort
+4nr. If we are giving this command means it will show all the records in a descending order….when I am checking one file bytes its showing 96 bytes……But I checked inside that file its having so many sub files and sub directories.Its showing 10000 bytes like that. There is a mush difference between this..Now I waana sort out files based on actual size of all directories and files….

how about this !

find . -name '*.*' -print | xargs ls -l | sort +4nr

Hai friend
This is also giving a same result what ever I used command ls -al | sort +4nr.......My problem is its not sorting out all the sub files and sub directories .When its sorting that file size is different and when I am entering in to that file that file size is different. That sorted file size is not a actual file size......................please help me friends...............

Try:

du -a |sort -r -n
