Frankly speaking. I use LS command lots of time but never thought It is as strong command that much.
Thanks for the cool LS options.

@metrit
use regular expressions
see man regexp or google “bash regular expressions”

list files starting with ‘t’:
$ ls t*

@Arun
read manual (type: man ls)
$ ls -S … biggest files first
$ ls -Sr … smallest files first
or if you like it long and understandable (I thing this is handy only for aliases in config files):
$ ls –sort=size –reverse
