I think this is answered, but since you are a bit new to SQLite, and to
be somewhat more informant...

Of course. How do I do something similar to DB2 decimal() function
which will add trailing zeros to precision? I tried round(col,6) but
it knocked off the trailing zero like 12.12345.
It's not so much the trailing zeroes you need, it's the leading spaces.
But you should order by the original value, not by "column 2" because
"column 2" contains RESULTS (or OUTPUT if you will), not original
values, and you have stringified the results with your printf()
statement, so they will now sort like strings.
At least, this is how SQLite thinks of that statement - I'm unsure if
this is in line (or not in line) with any standard. I think from a
previous discussion we concluded that ordering, limiting and offsetting
were all non-standard adaptions by various SQL implementations and so
have no true conformance spec.
