From what you described, seems like the function should only be formatting a value.
create or replace function format_as_money(m float) returns text language sql immutable returns null on null input return to_char(1, 'L') || m;
Note, I don't know the specifics of your table or your assignment, but you should be able to adjust from here. See the Examples section of the create function
docs.
Then use that in a select by passing the amount column in.
select title, format_as_money(amount) as formatted_amountfrom detail_reportorder by title
