You might want to give this version a try:
Code:
rev=""
if [ $# -gt 0 ]
  then
  if [ $1 = '-r' ]
  then
    rev="r"
#   echo $rev
    shift
  fi
fi
ls -l $* |grep -v "total " |sort +4n$rev -5 +8 |more -e

It lists all files (or star name convention) in increasing size or, with "-r" as the first parm, in decreasing size. Ties are alphabetical by file name.
