Needs improvements:

1. Needs color (e.g. same coloring as in diff --stat)
2. File names need to be aligned on the same column, which requires the width of the diffstat graph on the left to be fixed.

@rcdaily, I agree! This should do the trick: https://gist.github.com/milo-minderbinder/28d8a81bf2335dc51bec36cd24394c8f

*edit for the lazy:
git diff --stat --stat-width "$(tput cols)" --color=always | sort -t '|' -n -k2 "$@"
or, even better, as a git alias:
git config --global alias.diff-stat-sort '!git diff --stat --stat-width "$(tput cols)" --color=always | sort -t "|" -n -k2'

*edit for the lazy:
git diff --stat --stat-width "$(tput cols)" --color=always | sort -k3 "$@"

sort should also have -nr, e.g. (for diffing two commits):

git diff --stat --stat-width "$(tput cols)" --color=always 5c68a1cb123..a2589f19e6de | sort -nr -k3 "$@" | head
