I have 929 files with names like these:
01-Gen-001.xml 01-Gen-002.xml 01-Gen-003.xml 01-Gen-004.xml 01-Gen-005.xml 01-Gen-006.xml 01-Gen-007.xml 01-Gen-008.xml 01-Gen-009.xml 01-Gen-010.xml
I would like to add them to a new database in the same order that I see if I do $ ls in that directory, without using XInclude to put them inside another node. Is there an easy way to do that?

Are you doing this from within XQuery? sort( file:list($dir)[matches(., '.xml$')] ) ! db:add($db, doc(.), .)
maybe?
Perfect! Thank you!
