question: Column formatting
Currently This is what I have in the series column:

Lt. Leary[6]

I want it to show and save:

Lt. Leary[06]

Is this possible? I can get it to save to disk in that format, but not sure how to get to show in the column inside calibre.

You do not need (and calibre can't do it) the leading 0 INSIDE the spreadsheet. Inside, the 6 is a floating point number and sorts properly .
STD or send to device, convert to Alpha-numeric. THAT needs leading 0 padding
