This is a follow up to my "APEX Number Formatting Question"

Question

All the responses were VERY helpful! One last (so he says) question:
How do you get the numbers to line up on the decimal points using this command?
SELECT TO_CHAR(Eq_Cost, 'L99,999.99' ), TO_CHAR(Eq_Price, 'L99,999.99') FROM Equipment;
As always, Many thanks!

That Got the Statment to run! Thanks, But...
Good Morning All ~
How do you RIGHT justify a column of numbers?
I tried using LPAD as was suggested and there was no change in the result. All the numbers are still LEFT justified. Below is the script and output. I am only using LPAD for now on the Eq_Cost field until this is solved.
Select Eq_Item AS "Hardware", LPAD(TO_CHAR(Eq_Cost,'L9,999.99'), 20, ' ') AS "Our Cost",
TO_CHAR(Eq_Price, 'L99,999.99') AS "Sales Price",
TO_CHAR((Eq_Price - Eq_Cost), 'L99,999.99') AS Profit from Equipment;
