            Bug ID: 139051
           Summary: Feedback: Text align based on numbers positional value
                    instead of just Left, Right or Center alignment.
                    FORMATTING
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.3.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sebbes333 at gmail.com

Description:
Feedback for at least Libre Calc, but can likely be useful in Doc too.

(hopefully this form keeps the formatting here, otherwise it looks wired)
[] <-- data cells (read the underline as a space, just in case the formatting
is ruined).

Data example: (currently: right aligned (Ctrl+R), it's harder to read)
[____1,0_]
[_123,00_]
[_____12_]
[__1,001_]

My proposal is a new alignment that is based on the numbers positional value
instead, like this:
[___1,0___]
[_123,00__]
[__12_____]
[___1,001_]

As you can see, all "ones" numbers, and "tens" & "hundreds" numbers are lined
up, so it's easier to read & much harder to misread a numbers value (like
misreading 1,001 as 1001 instead).

Hope this is explained clearly enough, and it helps to improve Libre Calc.



Steps to Reproduce:
Not applicable.
I guess: Type random values in a column & try to align them.


Actual Results:

At row: "Data example:"...

Expected Results:

At row: "My proposal"...


Reproducible: Always
