actually i have the files having names

ABC.tl_temp_52
TCE.tl_temp_53

and so on......i.e there are two underscore..

so the command fails there ...

it works fine with 1 underscore...

If you have zsh:

Code:
set -- temp_*;print -l ${(on)@}

Otherwise:

Code:
printf "%s\n" ABC.tl_temp_*|sort -t_ -k3n

in that case the numeric part is now 3rd field ( with _ as a delim )
so use
ls -1 | sort -t '_' -k 3,3n

or

ls -1 | sort -n -t '_' +2
