I don't think it's possible. It would long last when you change the directory to calculate its size.
The only thing (as far as I know) you can do is:

- In Configuration/ Display / Sorting directories - choose option "Like files(also by time)"
- While you are in the directory you want to sort the subdirectories - mark all the subdirectories wtth spacebar (to calculate their size) and then press again Ctrl_F6

But even then you have first sorted directories then files.

What I usually do which is quite straightforward is to press Alt+Shift+Enter. This will automatically calculated the size of each directory visible in your list. Then just click on the size tab or press Ctrl+F6. Don’t forget to tick beforehand the “Like files (also by time)” option in TC’s configurations under the tab Display as djk suggested here.
