I have a query for sqlite3 database which provides the sorted data. The data are sorted on the basis of a column which is a varchar
column "Name". Now when I do the query
select * from tableNames Order by Name;
It provides the data like this.
Pen Stapler pencil
Means it is considering the case sensitive stuff. The way I want is as follows
Pen pencil Stapler
So what changes should I make in sqlite3 database for the necessary results?

The SQLite Datatypes documentation discusses user-defined collation sequences. Specifically you use COLLATE NOCASE to achieve your goal.
They give an example:
CREATE TABLE t1(
a, -- default collation type BINARY
b COLLATE BINARY, -- default collation type BINARY
c COLLATE REVERSE, -- default collation type REVERSE
d COLLATE NOCASE -- default collation type NOCASE
);
and note that:
-- Grouping is performed using the NOCASE collation sequence (i.e. values -- 'abc' and 'ABC' are placed in the same group). SELECT count(*) GROUP BY d FROM t1;
