Read filenames in sorted order

Hi ,
My requirement is to scan a directory for file names with LTR.PDF*
and send those files via ftp to another server one by one.

Now the the problem is file names are like LTR.PDF ,LTR.PDF1 ,LTR.PDF2.....LTR.PDF10..upto 99
and these needs to be sent in sorted order.
is there a way to get the files in sorted order based on file names in for loop

Code:
for file in $BASEDIR/output/$LTRNAMELTR.PDF*
do
# The following check is necessary; if no files end with ltr*.afp
# then $file will be assigned "ltr*.afp"
if [ ! -f $file ]
then
echo " No print LTR PDF File created"
break
fi
FILENAME=${file%%.afp}
BASEFILENAME=$( basename $FILENAME )
ftp.......
done

quick reponse wil be much appreciated..thanks
