SCO Open Server 6 : command help

[Tranbo]

I'm looking for command that will do:

Search for Files in / files system sort by size and put the largest files in the bottom

I RTM and come up with command below but doesn't give me what I'm looking for

#ls -laS

Try:

find / -xdev -type f | xargs ls -ld | sort -n -k 5,5

find searches the specified filesystem, printing out results. -xdev prevents it from crossing filesystem boundaries (e.g. into /usr for example, if it is a separate filesystem), and -type f makes it only print out file names (i.e. not directories, symlinks, etc.). xargs reads those filenames and runs the specified command, ls -ld, against them in bite-sized chunks. Finally the output is sorted numerically by the fifth column, which is the file size.
