List numerically in ascending order

Hello,
I am running ubuntu 16.04 and trying to list all files inside a directory, I need to sort them in ascending order. While surfing on the site, I found an old thread but somehow it did not work.
Link

Ascending order with sort -nk2 myfile.txt command gives below output:
Code:
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_0.ts
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_100.ts
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_101.ts
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_102.ts
..
..
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_10.ts
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_110.ts
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_111.ts
..
..
file media_w1956306127_b2500000_699.ts

Other method is a bit longer to do that. (Rename prefix media_w1956306127_b2500000_ in each filename, then, print the file names with for loop, variable from 0 to 699)

Could you please let me know how I may sort it as expected? Maybe sort command takes all strings as alphabet so it does not take into account the value of the string so that listing in ascending order does not give what I expected to get.

Thank you
Boris
