Ask and you shall receive. Seek and ye shall find! (Or in this case if you had searched you would have found it. :-) Sort has had that option since coreutils release 7.5. Here is the release announcement. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-08/msg00201.html * Noteworthy changes in release 7.5 (2009-08-20) [stable] ** New features sort accepts a new option, --human-numeric-sort (-h): sort numbers while honoring human readable suffixes like KiB and MB etc. Meanwhile, coreutils release 8.4 (2010-01-13) is current and stable.
