[Bug 1594968] [NEW] Option to sort the disk usage output by size

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with coreutils 8.25-2ubuntu2 and I'm noticing
that du has no option to sort the output by size ascending/descending.
This could be useful for example to figure out which directories/files
are consuming the most space on the disk.
