When comparing numbers, the digits are compared starting with the highest place value column that is not empty (or contains a zero) across the numbers. If the digits are the same, the next place value column to the right is checked; and so on until a difference is found or all the digits are the same making the numbers equal.
By lining up the decimal points the digits of each place value column are now aligned and it is easy to compare the correct digits (that is the digits in the place value columns) and see which order the numbers are (from least to greatest, etc).
You do not, but it is easier.
Lining the numbers up makes it easier to spot 0s between the decimal point and the leading non-zero digit.

Rational numbers are roots, decimals, fractions, and whole numbers. Bascially anything that can become a decimal. Irrational numbers are like pi. I'm pretty sure to be irrational, they have to repeat. Anyway, ordering them and comparing them means looking at them and seeing which is smallest and largest. Then you order them (smallest to largest or whatever it says).
This answer is irrelevant because you did not explain yourself, the correct answer is,"Its important so you can separate whole numbers for parts of whole numbers."

Annexing zeros is included in ordering decimals to even the numbers out so you can line the decimals up. I'm pretty sure that is the right answer...

They are similar because when you compare decimals you say the larger one has more value so the decimal is larger like in comparing whole numbers the number that has more value is larger. So they are very similar.
All whole numbers are decimal numbers.

Sure thing, honey. When ordering decimals from greatest to least, you start by looking at the whole numbers before the decimal point. If they're the same, you move on to the tenths place, then the hundredths place, and so on. It's like lining up your ducks in a row, but with numbers. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

All decimals are real numbers and all real numbers can be expressed as decimals.
All repeating decimals are rational numbers. Not all rational numbers are repeating decimals.
The answer depends on the decimal numbers: there is no simple answer if one (or both) of the decimals is a non-terminating number.
