title: How do I preserve the order of images while creating video in python
body: <p>I need to create a video out of sequence of images in python. I found this code online that works fine but I am having a small problem with the ordering of the images when being read in python. Even though the ordering in the folder is ok. 
  E.x frame100.jpg , frame101.jpg , frame102.jpg,....., frame1000, frame1001, ....
  when I read them with python inside the loop  , after debuging I see the following 
  'frame100.jpg', 'frame1000.jpg', 'frame1001.jpg', 'frame1002.jpg',.....,<strong>frame101</strong>,frame1010 , frame1011....</p>
  
  <p>This is the code</p>
  
  <pre><code>def images_to_video():
  
  image_folder = 'data_out'
  
  
  images = [img for img in os.listdir(image_folder) if img.endswith(".jpg")]
  frame = cv2.imread(os.path.join(image_folder, images[0]))
  height, width, layers = frame.shape
  
  video = cv2.VideoWriter('project.avi',cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'DIVX'), 15, (width,height))
  
  
  for image in images:
      video.write(cv2.imread(os.path.join(image_folder, image)))
  
  
  cv2.destroyAllWindows()
  video.release()
  </code></pre>
