MATLAB: Load .mat files in order

load matfiles

I have a set of output files in structure format saved as .mat (output1,output2,output3,..outputn) I am using this code to load it into my workspace.
     for fileNr =1:Nrof files
     outputFileName = outputFileNames(fileNr);
    outputFileName = outputFileName{1};
    outputFileName = strcat(outputFolder, filesep, outputFileName);
    FileName=(outputFileName);
    data1=load(FileName);
    end
But matlab loads files. I want it to be in order. what can be done to achieve this.Thanks

Check out this sort_nat function from the file exchange. As far as I understood your question, it might be helpful to you. It helps to sort the string containing digits taking into account numerical order too. Or check out the first method here to read files in order How can I process a sequence of files?
I'd prefer the later method. Comment if I misunderstood your question.
