`sort` file names which contain chars and numbers

I have many related files, like this:

data0.csv data1.csv data2.csv data11.csv data21.csv

when I ls ., they look like this:

data0.csv
data1.csv
data11.csv
data2.csv
data21.csv

but I want them in ascending order like this:

data0.csv
data1.csv
data2.csv
data11.csv
data21.csv

How to do it in bash?

This might work for you:

For this particular example you could also do this:

$> ls . | sort -k3 -ta -n
data0.csv
data1.csv
data2.csv
data11.csv
data21.csv

Sorting numerically (-n) on the third field (-k3) using 'a' as the field separator (-ta).
