ls with regular expression

I currently list and sort all the files in a directory which begin with an Upper Case C and end with the extension '#finished#'.

Here is the command I use:

ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.#finished#

what i need to do now is list all the files in a directory that begin with upper case C and end with either '#finished#' or 'finsihed'.

can i do this with one `ls` statement?

my simple mind tries this:

filelist=`ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.#finished#`
filelist=$filelist+`ls -tr $currentDir/[C]*.finished`

however I need to keep the sort order in tact for all files regardless of thier extension.

thanks
