There are several different implementations of "ls".
What Operating System and version are you running?

Whatever the version, "ls -ltr" will list items which are not files (e.g. Directories, Special Files, Pipes, Links etc. and also output a "Total" line". A general purpose tool will need to cater for non-files.
If you just want a rough total size of a directory and its subdirectories then see the "du" command (with paramters).
