How to convert images in order

I have a script that I want to converts images to animated gifs. Alas, they are not in the proper order! Ascending as 10,11,12...19,1,20,21... where I really need it in 1,2,3,4....

#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 0 22`
do
 convert -size 99x99 xc:red -font Palatino-Bold -pointsize 66 \
         -fill black -draw "text 20,55 '$i'" $i.png  
done
convert -delay 50 -loop  *.png output.gif

enter image description here

What should I do to get the gif animated in the correct order?

Another solution:

Sort the files numerically before passing them to convert.

convert -delay 50 -loop  $(ls *.png | sort -n) output.gif

Name them properly in the first place.

"$(printf "%02d" "$i").png"
