Sometime ago, I too needed the very same thing - and on SuSE :-)
What I did was:
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n' | sort -rn > /tmp/rpmlist
to get a descending order sorted list of all RPMs and their sizes. Removing
the unwanted 600+ MB useless game demos from SuSE then was trivial.

PS: For ascending order, pipe through sort -n.
