[Gllug] Mandrake is too clever by half (0.5)

[Gordon Joly]

Mandrake is too clever by half....

I have often invoked....

du -s * | sort -n

"Clever clever" Mandrake give the results of du (be default?) as

1.1G
20k
246M
23M

etc so you cannot pipe to "numerical sort" as above...

Sheesh!

P.S. What does Posix say about this?
