It is nice to know that what you are doing isn't working, but if we don't know what you are trying to do it is hard to guess at how to fix it.

You are currently taking multiple lists of files sorted by decreasing file size and then sorting them together in reverse alphanumeric order.

What are you trying to do?

It is also a good idea to tell us what operating system and shell you're using.

Does one of the following come close to what you're trying to do?

Code:

ls -Sr folder*/ > ~/Desktop/summary.txt

(which gives you each of your directories with files within each directory sorted by decreasing size) or:

Code:

ls -Srd folder*/* > ~/Desktop/summary.txt

(which gives you all of the files in all of those directories in one list sorted by decreasing size).

dlasrt

dlasrt.f(3)							      LAPACK							       dlasrt.f(3)

NAME

       dlasrt.f -

SYNOPSIS

   Functions/Subroutines
       subroutine dlasrt (ID, N, D, INFO)
	   DLASRT

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   subroutine dlasrt (characterID, integerN, double precision, dimension( * )D, integerINFO)
       DLASRT

       Purpose:

	    Sort the numbers in D in increasing order (if ID = 'I') or
	    in decreasing order (if ID = 'D' ).

	    Use Quick Sort, reverting to Insertion sort on arrays of
	    size <= 20. Dimension of STACK limits N to about 2**32.

       Parameters:
	   ID

		     ID is CHARACTER*1
		     = 'I': sort D in increasing order;
		     = 'D': sort D in decreasing order.

	   N

		     N is INTEGER
		     The length of the array D.

	   D

		     D is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
		     On entry, the array to be sorted.
		     On exit, D has been sorted into increasing order
		     (D(1) <= ... <= D(N) ) or into decreasing order
		     (D(1) >= ... >= D(N) ), depending on ID.

	   INFO

		     INFO is INTEGER
		     = 0:  successful exit
		     < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
