How to get script to create a new file that lists folder content sorted by size?
I have a script that sorts and processes unsorted files to newly created directories.

Its working great, but I am trying to understand the leanest method to get the script to create an additional file within each newly created directory that:

Contains a list of all files in the directory sorted by size order.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Good Morning, Please enter your file type name for sorting [ENTER]:" all_extensions
if cd /Users/christopherdorman/desktop
  then  while read extension
      do    destination="folder$extension"
        mkdir -p "$destination"
        mv  -v unsorted/*."$extension" "$destination"
      done   <<< "${all_extensions// /$'\n'}"
        mkdir -p foldermisc 
        if mv  -v unsorted/* "foldermisc"
      then  echo "Good News, the rest of Your files have been successfully processed"
        fi
fi

xkbcomp

XKBCOMP(1)						      General Commands Manual							XKBCOMP(1)

NAME

       xkbcomp - compile XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       xkbcomp [option] source [ destination ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xkbcomp  keymap compiler converts a description of an XKB keymap into one of several output formats.   The most common use for xkbcomp
       is to create a compiled keymap file (.xkm extension) which can be read directly by XKB-capable X servers or utilities.	 The  keymap  com-
       piler  can  also produce C header files or XKB source files.  The C header files produced by xkbcomp can be included by X servers or utili-
       ties that need a built-in default keymap.  The XKB source files produced by xkbcomp are fully resolved and can be used to verify  that  the
       files  which  typically	make up an XKB keymap are merged correctly or to create a single file which contains a complete description of the
       keymap.

       The source may specify an X display, or an .xkb or .xkm file;  unless explicitly specified, the format of destination depends on the format
       of  the	source.   Compiling a .xkb (keymap source) file generates a .xkm (compiled keymap file) by default.   If the source is a .xkm file
       or an X display, xkbcomp generates a keymap source file by default.

       If the destination is an X display, the keymap for the display is updated with the compiled keymap.

       The name of the destination is usually computed from the name of the source, with the extension replaced as appropriate.  When compiling  a
       single  map  from a file which contains several maps, xkbcomp constructs the destination file name by appending an appropriate extension to
       the name of the map to be used.

OPTIONS

       -a      Show all keyboard information, reporting implicit or derived information as a comment.  Only affects .xkb format output.

       -C      Produce a C header file as output (.h extension).

       -dflts  Compute defaults for any missing components, such as key names.

       -Idir   Specifies top-level directories to be searched for files included by the keymap description.  After all directories specified by -I
	       options	have  been  searched,  the  current  directory	and  finally, the default xkb directory (usually /usr/lib/X11/xkb) will be
	       searched.

	       To prevent the current and default directories from being searched, use the -I option alone (i.e. without a directory), before  any
	       -I options that specify the directories you do want searched.

       -i deviceid
	       If source or destination is a valid X display, load the keymap from/into the device with the specified ID (not name).

       -l      List maps that specify the map pattern in any files listed on the command line (not implemented yet).

       -m name Specifies a map to be compiled from an file with multiple entries.

       -merge  Merge the compiled information with the map from the server (not implemented yet).

       -o name Specifies  a  name for the generated output file.  The default is the name of the source file with an appropriate extension for the
	       output format.

       -opt parts
	       Specifies a list of optional parts.  Compilation errors in any optional parts are not fatal.  Parts may consist of any  combination
	       of the letters c, g,k,s,t which specify the compatibility map, geometry, keycodes, symbols and types, respectively.

       -Rdir   Specifies the root directory for relative path names.

       -synch  Force synchronization for X requests.

       -version
	       Print version number.

       -w lvl  Controls  the  reporting of warnings during compilation.  A warning level of 0 disables all warnings; a warning level of 10 enables
	       them all.

       -xkb    Generate a source description of the keyboard as output (.xkb extension).

       -xkm    Generate a compiled keymap file as output (.xkm extension).
