$ { echo 1MB; echo 1000KiB; echo 1MiB; } | sort -h sort: both SI and IEC prefixes present on units That would be a no to the "sort" part, but perhaps a yes to the "correctly" part. $ { echo 1001KiB; echo 1000KiB; echo 1MiB; } | sort -h 1000KiB 1001KiB 1MiB $ { echo 1001KB; echo 1000KB; echo 1MB; } | sort -h 1000KB 1001KB 1MB Seems to work fine when you give it just one type of unit to handle. -- I have a firm grip on reality.
