Using v8.3.3.  
I’ve changed panels from `Graph(old)` to `Time series`.  
I’m using legends in mode `table` and placement `right`.

In the okf `Graph(old)` the legend values were right justified:

In the new `Time series` the legend values are left justified:

Numeric values in table should imho be right justified.  
How comes that this changed ?  
Is that due to the update from `Graph(old)` to `Time series` ?  
Is that a deliberate design choice in `Time series` (if yes, why?) ?  
Is there an option to configure the value alignment (I didn’t fine one) ?

Any help/hint very welcome.

I saw in a panel which was created with `Time series` that the legend values are left justified  
 ![Screenshot_20220111_175228](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/e/1/e190081b0564128e7afd10e9870f62be684f2f28.png)

So this behavior is apparently not a side effect from an update from `Graph(old)`. But still  
Is that a deliberate design choice ? If yes, why?  
Is there an option to configure the value alignment (I didn’t fine one) ?

@wfjm Were you able to solve this issue? In my case, I want the legend values to be left aligned, but even if I move to using “Time Series” graph from “Old” graph, the legend values are still right justified. I agree it is always better to keep the numbers right aligned, but in our case, we have very limited real estate for some graphs and we want all the legend columns (for some graphs we have min, max, current, total) to show up in the same view instead of the user having to scroll horizontally.
