Description
Can you consider an option for right-justifying numeric columns. Left-justified and centered numbers don’t make sense from a data perspective; you lose the visual sense of magnitude that right-justification gives you. (You intuitively know which numbers are large and small and can see their basic relationship to each other if they’re right-justified.)
Thanks!
