I'm looking to custom sort an array gathered from a Net::FTP listing of a directory of logs. Logs are entered by thisisalog-#, where # is 0,1,2,3. This is fine when sorting by the ->ls function of Net::FTP but when it goes to 10,11, the list will start at 1, then next will be 10, not 2. How can we custom sort the array so instead of:

thisisalog-1
thisisalog-10
thisisalog-11
thisisalog-2
thisisalog-3
etc...

it goes like this

thisisalog-1
thisisalog-2
etc...
thisisalog-10

This is my current snippit of code: 
my $f = Net::FTP->new($host) or die "Can't open $host\n";
$f->login($user, $password) or die "Can't log $user in\n";

my @files = $f->ls;

foreach (@files) {
my $file = $_;
print "My file is $file \n";
}

Update - Log format really looks more like this with numbers unfortunantely within as well, just after the dash is it different:

abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-0.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-1.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-10.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-11.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-2.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-3.gz

Update: Laurent_R has used a transform method that takes all the constraints into account and makes this work: 

my @files = map { $_->[0] } 
            sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] ||  $a->[2] <=> $b->[2] } 
            map { [ $_, /\.(\d{12}\-\d{4})/, /.+?-(\d+)\..+$/ ] } <DAT
+A>;

print $_,$/ for @files;
