can I make account names be left justified?

[David Carlson]

That is very interesting and a good justification to provide such an
option.  I however like the current right justification because I have
designed my account names to have some critical-to-me distinctions at the
end of the name.  Sometimes that is account owners initials or the last
four digits of the account number.

Can we have an option to have it either way and changeable by a click in
the title box similar the the way spreadsheets do it?
