sort ignoring human readable suffixes

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

There's something I miss terribly in sort : it's the possibility to do
something like :
du -hs * | sort -n
It won't work, because sort doesn't understand human readable format
(1K, 234M, 2G).

Is there a reason why this is not implemented ? If not, I'll try to
submit a patch adding a -h option, available only with -n.
