sorting directory

[psybar phreak]

i am currently using glob (thanks to the wisdom of yee here) to filter
a directory for files that end in certain extensions, as i get a
match, i print out the contents.  what i want to do now, however, is
to sort these according to the file name, eg file1, comes before file
2.

can i sort the directory contents, before i start filtering? or am i
going to have to filter, put results in a list, then sort, then loop
through list and print results?  (i hope its the first one!)

thanks!!
