Defining the file order for ImageMagick convert

imagemagickimagemagick-convert

I have a bunch of PNG files named foo<bar>.png I wish to convert to TIF animation. <bar> is a number varies from 0 to 25 in leaps of five. ImageMagick place foo5.png last in the animation while it is supposed to be second. Is there a way, apart from renaming the file to foo05.png to place it in the right place?

If you have more input images than are convenient enough to type (say, foo0..foo100.png), you could do this (on Linux, Unix and Mac OS X):

convert                                                  \
  -delay 10                                              \
   $(for i in $(seq 0 5 100); do echo foo${i}.png; done) \
  -loop 0                                                \
