Depending on your environment you can use ls | sort -Vv works herewith GNU coreutils, as ine.g.:

gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sOutputFile=out.pdf $(ls -v)

Or if you are on recent versions of FreeBSD or OpenBSD:

gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sOutputFile=out.pdf $(ls | sort -V)

ls | sort -V works here, as in:

gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sOutputFile=out.pdf $(ls | sort -V)

Depending on your environment you can use ls -v with GNU coreutils, e.g.:

gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sOutputFile=out.pdf $(ls -v)

Or if you are on recent versions of FreeBSD or OpenBSD:

gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -sOutputFile=out.pdf $(ls | sort -V)
