Details

Summary and Info:
Actually, there is no possibility to sort directly the output of 'pacman -Qi' because the sizes it prints have suffixes.

Steps to Reproduce:
- use 'pacman -Qi'

Expected result:
Using a switch (like '-B' for 'show sizes in bytes'), 'pacman -QiB' will show all sizes in bytes, so by grepping name and installed size we can have a full list of packages sorted by their sizes.
This task depends upon

There is talk about adding "expac" into the pacman codebase (either as an official tool or adding features to pacman). Using that utility is the way to go for the time being.
