Yup. Make a list of all the file names, write a key function that

Alternatively, when you create the files in the first place, make sure
to use more leading zeros than you could possibly need.
xxx_chunk_000001 sorts less than xxx_chunk_000010.
So, if I write
import glob;
for f in glob.glob('*chunk*'):
print(f)
it will print in order. Is that really sorted or it is not guaranteed?
They are sorted on Windows, but not on Linux. (And even when they _are_
sorted, they might not be stored the way _you_ want them to be!)
It's best to assume that they aren't sorted.
