ls -l puts the size in the 5th columns, so piping the output through 
sort -n -k 5
will put them in ascending order.

Which brings me on to another little gripe:
Does anyone else find that files >100MB (requiring more than 8 digits in the
size column) break the alignment of ls -l's output?  Example:

drwxrwx--x    2 glyn     glyn         4096 Nov 17 22:10 bin
drwxrwx--x    9 glyn     glyn         8192 Nov 20 11:37 src
-r--r--r--    1 glyn     glyn     110215168 Nov 20 00:21 sessions_1-4.iso
                                          ^^
