Having issues with cat

I am using cat to collect data from hundreds of files with the following code:
Code:
cat *.dis > intree2

All my files have the extension .dis and are numbered:
Block1
Block2
Block3,
etc
I came to realize that my code is not adding the files in consecutive order. I need to make sure the content from file Block1.dis is at the very beggining of the output file followed by File Block2.dis so on and so forth. Is there any way I can force cat to do that precisely?
Thanks!
