Actually, it will.

	ls -laS

If you want smallest to largest, the add 'r' to the options.
If you want just the 'N' largest or smallest, suitable application
of 'head -N' or 'tail -N' is needed.

Same thing for access time.  The -u option is your friend here.

	ls -latu

Again, the -r option will reverse the sorting and 'head' or 'tail'
will give you the top N or bottom N.

It's all in TFM (The Fine Manual) page.  :-)
