Numbers are right aligned, everything else (titles, text fields, relationship fields, etc) is left aligned.

Can you please make this consistent?

These are the traditional alignments in a lot of spreadsheet tools, so we’re trying to follow historical precedent.

I get it, but the first thing I usually do in excel is align everything. 😛

I’ll make a feature request to add an alignment toggle if one doesn’t exist already. 🙂

Most spreadsheet tools like Excel and Google sheets allow you to auto-size columns to fit their data, as well as make them left- right- or center-aligned, plus lots of other formatting options that would be welcome additions to Fibery table views 😁

Numbers should be right-aligned in LTR languages.

The one small refinement I would like is to align the header alongside the contents. So if it’s a right-aligned number column, the header should also be right-aligned.  
That’s usually a design best practice as it visually groups header and content.

Thanks! 🙂

Could we have an option to right-align the contents of a column in table view?

This would be helpful when storing qualified names of things (such as subdomain or other “little endian” naming schemes where the latter parts of the names are the same).

And centering, which would be a big improvement for Checkbox fields.

Numbers should be right-aligned by default. 🙂

I personally think the best solution would be to let us override defaults and **left, center, or right align** _any field_, regardless of data type. Thanks!

Why hasn’t this been fixed yet? My issue is more with the tables in the Rich Text fields - I can do everything but align the data in the columns. It is ridiculous that this is still an issue.
