How I can read '2.tif' before '19.tif'?(my tif files are named as: 1.tif, 2.tif, 3.tiff, ..., 10.tif, 11.tif, ..., 19.tif, 20.tif)

Hello, Everyone. I have a folder with 100 tif format images, their names are 1.tif, 2.tif, ..., 100.tif. I wnant read these files from 1 to 100 one after another. I firstly use dir to list all tif image names. But in the listed names, the 2.tif was arranged after 19.tif, the 3.tif was arranged after 29.tif. How can I read 2.tif after 1.tif(before 19.tif)?
