Hammer & Screwdriver you are using -sh option
The -sh option is:
All sizes are scaled to a human readable format, for example, 14K, 234M, 2.7G, or 3.0T. Scaling is done by repetitively dividing by 1024.

Thus, you would have to create an awk script or other function to sort to:
T G M K -- since there is no sort to put them in order.

Or, use the -sk option, then awk (or other function) to convert to human-readable.

SYNOPSIS

       gfdf [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       gfdf displays disk usage and free space of Gfarm file system.

OPTIONS

       -a     Displays only summary information of the Gfarm file system.

       -h     Displays	numbers  in  human readable format by adding a prefix multiplier symbol like "M" (mega).  Since this option uses powers of
	      1024, "M" means 1,048,576.

       -H     Displays numbers in human readable format by adding a prefix multiplier symbol like "M" (mega).  Since this option  uses	powers	of
	      1000, "M" means 1,000,000.

       -n     Displays hostnames of available Gfarm file system nodes.

       -r     Sort output in the reverse order.

       -S     Sort output in the increasing order of the available disk capacity.

       -P path
	      Specifies a path name to specify a metadata server instead of the root metadata server.  Note that this option is not effective with
	      the -a option.

       -D domainname
	      Specifies a domain name of filesystem nodes to list the status of disk free space.

       -?     Displays a list of command options.
