dear richard,
 
the only one i've seen is in THE WORLD ALMANAC AND BOOK OF FACTS, and not
only is that offline information, but it is also listed alphabetically
within each ocean (so that's two strikes against it!). and there is a
third possible strike agains it: it only lists islands in major oceans,
and not any within the united states (long island, etc)
 
did you find anything listed on internet?
 
take care!
 
greg

         RE: Island lists:
 
While I do not know of a list of islands from small to large, I have
often found the "Standard Encyclopedia of the World's Oceans and
Islands" to be useful.  Author is Anthony Julian Huxley; imprint is
New York : Putnam, 1962.
