Actually, I was a little surprised that this DID work since
what George said is true. If you do a ls (blah) it does
look like how George showed. I never noticed though that if you
redirect it to a file it won't like it does on stdout.
To just add to what George said though, you can also do
echo *.trg | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -n > index
This will put it in the numeric order you need.
