Sprintf question - order AND padding 1

[Xaqte]

I know how to use sprintf for padding: %02d
And I know how to use if for the argument position: %2$d


But, I cannot figure out how to combine the two.

How would I padd it AND specify the argument position?

Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Is this what you mean?

printf '%2$02d %1$02d', 12, 34

prints 0034 0012

Hardly brilliant, but thanks. The sprintf documentation has an example of the usage.
