You should name your images starting with 000 instead of 0 so they will be appended in proper order.

If you have already named your images with the 0-100 pattern, you can process them with

convert image_?.jpg image_??.jpg image_???.jpg +append output.jpg

This reads the images with 1-digit numbers first, then the 2-digit ones, and finally the 3-digit ones.

If you created your image sequence with ImageMagick, in the future you can use output filename "image_%03d.jpg"; the "0" means to insert leading zeroes. If you will be creating more than 999 images, use "image_%04d.jpg" instead, to get 4-digit numbers embedded in your filenames (i.e., image_[0000-9999].jpg).

If you are combining a large number of large images and find yourself running out of resources, you can save half the memory and some CPU time by using a Q8 build of ImageMagick. JPEG images are 8-bit anyway so you won't lose image quality.
