Iterating files in order of name, Python

I am iterating a bunch of files like so:

for file in glob('./*.dat'):
            print file

And the output is always the following:

./SAN0.dat
./SAN4.dat
./SAN1.dat
./SAN2.dat
./SAN3.dat
./SAN5.dat
./SAN6.dat
./SAN7.dat

How can I iterate them in order of their name, (meaning SAN1.dat would be second, for example)?

Thanks!
