SQLite is certainly a different experience to the enterprise class data
bases that I'm used to but I like it. I'm still getting used to the duck
typing aspect.
I've built it on a z/OS mainframe with very little changes and it works
great in the z/OS UNIX environment. I'm wondering what it will take to
get it to work
in the native file system.

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.
Got it, the sort on original value was what I needed. And thank you to
you chaps for pointing it out.
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.
