I'm using ImageMagick on Ubuntu Linux and I'm attempting to convert sequentially named files into a gif animation. Usually this is an easy operation and only requires that I run something like convert input-*.png output.gif. However, the filenames don't have leading zeros and so the animation order is something like input-0.png input-10.png input-11.png input-12.png etc. See image below:



I'm aware that I should have used the file padding operator (e.g. intput-03%d.jpg) when creating the files. I'm also aware of variety of methods for adding leading zeros to the files. However, at this time renaming the files would not be feasible.

Is there a way to convert those files using the command line on Linux into a gif with the files animated in the correct order?
