avoid reading files in alphabetical order Matlab dir

Hi, I am trying to read all the text files in a folder to matlab. The naming of the files start from 1 to 30.ex: file1, file2, file3....file10,file11....file20,file21...file30..file33 When I use dir(fullfile(myFolder, '*.txt'), it forms a structure but reading the files in alphabetical order like file1,file10,file11,...file2,file20,...file3.... How can I avoid this. I need to read the files as they appear in the folder. Thanks
