Help with awk alignment

Dear All,

I am in the beginning stage of learning shell scripting and preparing shell script on my own now.

I would like to get help from fellow mates here.

As I am trying to take O/P with space included from I/P table.

Kindly guide me to align given I/P table as Expected O/P.


Example:
I/P:

Code:
 4444  7777  0000
1111    3333    5555
aaaa    bbbb    cccc     dddd     eeee
xxxx    yyyy    zzzzz    bbbb    mmm
9999    8888    7777    6666    4444

Expected O/P:

Code:
4444
1111            
aaaa    dddd    eeee
xxxx    bbbb    mmm
9999    6666    4444
