Package: moreutils
Version: 0.38
Severity: wishlist
See disussions in bug #563118 . It is obvioous and evident, that in
order to solve that bug some new utility is needed. Let's call it
"sortdu". At least it is good working title.

I'm rejecting the idea of adding a sortdu to moreutils. The point of
moreutils is to gather new tools in the spirit of the original unix
tools. Writing a new program because sort and du -h don't mix w/o loss
of accuracy is not in that spirit.
There's nothing really wrong with the shell pipelines shown in #563118,
aside from them being a bit complex. That complexity could be reduced if
du had a way to format its output like this:
412 412K .
Then the pipeline becomes just
du --format="%i %h %f" | sort -n | awk '{print $2, $3}'
