# Expects a numeric vector of numbers to convert to padded numbers
regular_numbers <- 1:19
padded_numbers <- group_numbers(regular_numbers)

# The padding matters when creating labels for groupings
# as numbers will be converted to characters if attached to strings.

sort(paste0("group_", regular_numbers))

# Will sort as expected when padded:
sort(paste0("group_", padded_numbers))
