Align fields on form

This seems like it should be a default function in a system like this but I am not finding any way to force fields to line up on a form. There should be some kind of default left align feature that will clear any blank space between the left margin and the fields. 

Does anyone know a way to do this? Currently QB forms look sloppy no matter what because nearly every field is offset from one another.

    Can you post a screen shot on an example?

    I am just curious if I can align by the field name position instead of the actual field that QB auto aligns within each section. I can post a screenshot but I don't know if that will help explain my question. Better question, can I just custom align every field?
    It works how it works so that answer will probably be no, but I'm still curious as to what you think is a problem, and that requires a screen shot to explain.

    There is not an option to align by field name, only field position.
    .. although if you re-orient your layout so the field names are above thee fields, then they will align.  Typically, you will then make the form wider and have say 4 or so fields across the page.,

    That's a good point, I might try it out and see how it looks.

    Use the IOL technique with this code:
    $("table.LabelsLeft td.label, table.LabelsLeft label").css("text-align", "left");
