Use -l then:
ls -l | sort -k5,5nr | awk '!/^total/ {print $9}'
This shows another bug: the "totals" line gets in the way for filters
simpler than the above and is documented to not be printed (for ls -l)
unless the output is to a terminal but it is actually printed independently
of the output device. ls -s is documented to print totals like ls -l
but works as documented for non-terminals despite the code that prints
it being identical.
ls -CS # no easy way to do this with a filter but who cares
