Writer's table properties currently offers the following alignment options: ( ) Automatic ( ) Left ( ) From Left ( ) Right ( ) Center ( ) Manual this is problematic in many ways, see bug 145980. What that bug does not cover, however, is the need to be able to align the table with the Start or End, as opposed to aligning Left or Right. I believe Start and End in this context will correspond to the table's direction (currently appearing in the UI as its "text direction").
Just to be clear, of course - I don't think it's a good idea to have 8 (!) different alignments on offer. But that's a matter for discussion in bug 145980.

As far as I can see, the mockup [1] already includes your idea, but perhaps instead of "From Start (Left)" something like "From Start (of paragraph direction)" would be more clear. So I don't see the need for a new bug report cc: Heiko Tietze
(In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > ...the mockup [1] already includes your idea Missing the reference. https://help.libreoffice.org/26.8/en-US/text/swriter/01/05090100.html Left: Aligns the left edge of the table to the left page margin. Left margin: Aligns the left edge of the table to the indent that you enter in the Left box in the Spacing area. Something like Left = Start at page margin and Left margin = Start at paragraph would be wrong. The From Left runs the table from a customizable left position to the end while Left starts at the exact page margin with an option to stop before the right edge. Guess it's the same for RTL and Right/From Right.
