so that the unpadded sequences comes back in the correct order

You may have a reason for the order you chose but I would have thought it made more sense order things so that the number part of the filename was sorted numerically, not lexically. That way you get two runs rather than one run and four singletons from the example you post.

image_sequenceA.1.tif
image_sequenceA.2.tif
image_sequenceA.3.tif
image_sequenceA.11.tif
image_sequenceA.12.tif
image_sequenceA.13.tif
image_sequenceA.14.tif
image_sequenceA.15.tif
image_sequenceA.16.tif
image_sequenceA.17.tif
image_sequenceA.18.tif
image_sequenceA.19.tif
image_sequenceA.20.tif

I hope this is of interest.
