command sort -h does not return a reasonable result

I tried to sort files using sort -h
algorithms@algorithms:~$ ls -lh /boot | sort -h

However, it does not sort reasonably.
Reference to the manual:
-h, --human-numeric-sort
compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)
What's the problem with my usage?
