how many kinds of type 1 files do you have. For only those 2 types tested
Code:
# ls -ltr *.log.[1-9]

if you are sure you do not have any other characters beside numbers
Code:
ls -ltr *.log.? *.log.?? *.log.???

or
Code:
ls -ltr *.log.[0-9]*

or just
Code:
ls -ltr *.log.[0-9]  *.log.[0-9] [0-9] *.log.[0-9] [0-9][0-9]

If you have other more advanced criteria, then the above doesn't really suit your needs....
