? Here's another way to sort by size which I just implemented
? today. (Designed by a friend, not me.)

I just posted that yesterday. Well, at least you called me a friend :-)

? (defun dired-sort-by-size (arg)			; s
?   "Reread directory and sort by size. Reverse sort with prefix."
?   (interactive "P")
?   (revert-buffer)
?   (let ((buffer-read-only nil))
?   (shell-command-on-region
?    (point-min) (point-max)
?    (concat "sort +4n" (and arg " -r")) t)))

I tried to call, but they say your number has been disconnected.
