How to loop all files in sorted order in Bash?

Question

I am looping all files in directory with following command:

for i in *.fas; do some_code; done;

However, I get order like this:

<         


        

Answer 1

With option sort -g it compares according to general numerical value

 for FILE in `ls ./raw/ | sort -g`; do echo "$FILE"; done

0.log 1.log 2.log ... 10.log 11.log

This will only work if the name of the files are numerical. If they are string you will get them in alphabetical order. E.g.:

 for FILE in `ls ./raw/* | sort -g`; do echo "$FILE"; done

raw/0.log raw/10.log raw/11.log ... raw/2.log
