How to sort with ls -lh command?

Hi All

I am trying to sort files from largest to smallest

using this command

HTML Code:
ls -lh /home/sid | awk '$9 !~/unwantedfile/{print $5,$3,$6,$7,$8,$9}' |sort -n -r
I am using awk and printing in this format print $5,$3,$6,$7,$8,$9, so that sort would use the values in $5 and print in descending order. But I get random sorting


I am using solaris version
Please advise
