So when fetched in sorted order $widget[0] will hold the active flag for average_speed_answer not trunk_usage?. Or have you changed the script to use different elements. For example where you had 

if (row[0] eq '1') {
  print "<td><form><input type="checkbox" name="trunk_usage" value="1"
+ checked>% Trunk Usage</form></td>";

is that now 

if ($widget[4] eq '1') {
  print "<td><form><input type="checkbox" name="trunk_usage" value="1"
+ checked>% Trunk Usage</form></td>";

update :

If you used a hash instead of an array

my $sql = 'SELECT name,active 
           FROM comm_desk_widget_status 
           WHERE user = ?';
           
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute('admin');
my %widget=();
while (my ($name,$active) = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
  $widget{$name} = $active;
}

then you could use

if ($widget{'percent_trunk_usage'} == 1) {
  print "<td><form><input type="checkbox" name="trunk_usage" value="1"
+ checked>% Trunk Usage</form></td>";

and there would be no chance of getting out of step
