I'll note that this (which was commented in the script):

zparseopts -D -E -A elkfloats - -sc: -sc1: -sc2: -sc3:

does the expected thing, so I suspect your awk expression to generate
the ${floats} array simply needs to sort its output differently so
that "-sc:" is appears earlier in the array than "-sc1:" etc.
