sort doesn't know if Megabyte is more than Kilobyte. Even sorting by the letter wont help when it comes to Gigabyte. Since alphabetical order is not the same as size order in descriptions ie.

Size order:
Code:
G
M
K

Alphabetical order:
Code:
G
K
M

So maybe better produce some output where all the sizes are written with zeroes filling up the size description or either write something yourself that changes it to the needed comparable sizes.

vzlist(8)							    Containers								 vzlist(8)

NAME
vzlist - show various information about containers SYNOPSIS
vzlist [-a | -S] [-n] [-H] [-o name[,name...] | -1] [-s [-]name] [-h pattern] [-N pattern] [-d pattern] [CTID [CTID ...]] vzlist -L | --list vzlist --help DESCRIPTION
This utility is used for listing containers and their parameters. By default only running containers are listed. If one or more CTIDs are specified, only specified containers are displayed. For the fields that can have many values (e.g. ip), all the values are displayed only for the last (i.e. leftmost) column; otherwise, only the first value is shown. OPTIONS
-a, --all List all containers. -S, --stopped List only not running containers (including the ones with status shown as mounted or suspended). -n, --name Display container names instead of hostnames. -H, --no-header Suppress displaying the header row. -o, --output field[,field...] Display only the specified fields (see Standard fields subsection below). -1 Synonym for -H -octid, i.e. only show container IDs, one per line. -s, --sort [-]field Sort by the value of field (possible arguments are the same as for -o). The - before the field name means sorting in the reverse order. Output filters List of CTs can be further filtered using the following options. For patterns one can use the same wildcards as in shell (i.e. *, ?, and []). Note: to avoid expansion of wildcards by the shell, one have to escape the pattern by either putting it into single quotes (like 'a*a') or by adding a backslash before the wildcard character (like a*a). -h, --hostname pattern List only containers whose hostnames matches the pattern. -N, --name_filter pattern List only containers whose names matches the pattern. -d, --description pattern List only containers with descriptions matching the pattern. Possible fields -L, --list list all available format specifiers that can be used for both output (-o, --output) and the sorting order (-s, --sort). For the user beancounter fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage (a.k.a. "held") value is show. One can also use the fol- lowing suffixes: .m maxheld .b barrier .l limit .f fail counter For the disk quota fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage is shown. One can also use the following suffixes: .s soft limit .h hard limit EXAMPLES
vzlist -o ctid,kmemsize,kmemsize.l -s kmemsize Show CTIDs, kmemsize usage, and kmemsize limit for all running containers, sorted by the kmemsize usage. EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 upon success. COPYRIGHT
