Ok, so count the fields and figure out which one you need? Grab one
filename, count the "-"s in it, and use that in a variable. files=(*.png);
tmp=${files[0]//[!-]}; field=$((${#tmp}+1)); printf '%s\0' "${files[@]}" |
sort -zt '-' -k "$field"n | while IFS= read -rd '' file; do ... Or just
0-pad all your numbering so a basic lexographic sort handles all of this
automatically and you can just use a glob.

The numeric sort will handle this already.
