Thanks chaley ... I should have mentioned that aspect before and so belatedly inserted a more complete description of the process earlier in this thread. I'll repeat some of it here for more convenient reference:

In setting up the custom column (by right-clicking on the existing row of column descriptors and selecting "add your own columns", then clicking on the "+" icon (or the "i" icon after the column is set up)), after inputting a name of your choice and choosing the column type "column built from other columns", and inputting the template description that chaley provided
"program:format_number(strlen(field('title')), '{0:d}')"
it is important (as chaley also identifies herein) to also select the accompanying option to sort/search column by "number".
