Understood. That is exactly what my script expects.

You are wrong. Wildcards are not necessary.

My script does not require filenames to be modified, even though they do not sort properly because the numeric indices are not of equal digits. The inner while-loop generates the filenames itself.
My script is intended to work with the original filenames, unmodified.
