du -sk | sort -n gives you file size in KBytes in ascending order (smallest first) in the current directory.
Or something like this will find files larger than 20480 bytes. But I would imagine it would take a long time to run:
find / -xdev -size +20480 -ls|sort -r +6|head -10
What is it you are trying to do?
