[plug] listing with total

[Jon Miller]

I didn't put the entire command in my reply.  
while in the directory I needed to find out the size and total of the .MYI files
du -h -c *.MYI did the trick for me.

But that doesn't list the files, as the OP requested, just
sub-directories.

Try "ls -hs". Almost, except the total is at the top.
Then "ls -hsr | tac"    bingo!
