This script (we call ours lz) has an optional "-r" first parameter for descending sizes and/or the star name(s) you would put after an ls command.
Code:
rev=""
if [ $# -gt 0 ]
  then
  if [ $1 = '-r' ]
  then
    rev="r"
    shift
  fi
fi
ls -l $* |grep -v "total " |sort +4n$rev -5 +8 |more -e

Same sized files are listed alphabetically.
