You could do it in two stages, first without -h, to sort, then with -h,
to display... e.g.:

   df -h `df | tail -n +2 | sort -n -k2 | awk '{print $NF}'`

Sample output:

   Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
   /dev/sda3             3.8G  3.3G  282M  93% /usr
   tmpfs                 253M   16K  253M   1% /dev/shm
   tmpfs                 253M     0  253M   0% /lib/init/rw
   /dev/sda1             137M   79M   52M  61% /
   udev                   10M   28K   10M   1% /dev

[You might want to use the "-xtmpfs" option with the inner df, 'cause
tmpfs filesystems look sort of weird in a sorted list like this...]
