   I have noticed a problem when using the built-in field alignment classes described here:

   http://www.appnitro.com/doc-field-alignment

   If I try to have more than two sets of two column or three column items (I haven't tested it with larger numbers of columns, but I assume the same problem applies to them as well), some of the subsequent lines don't align properly. For example, if I wanted to get a layout like this:

   [Name 1] [Email 1]
   [Name 2] [Email 2]

   And I do so by adding the built-in class "column_2" to the Custom CSS Class field for all of the above fields, it turns out like this:

   [Name 1] [Email 1]
                  [Name 2] [Email 2]

   If I have any field, such as a section break. without a custom CSS class assigned to it between the first two and second two matching fields, it "fixes" the problem.

   [Name 1] [Email 1]
   [section break]
   [Name 2] [Email 2]

   I assume that this is happening because the float imposed by the column_n built in classes is not cleared. Is there a way to deal with this without adding extra "spacer" fields?

   That field (Name 2) seems need to be cleared indeed. To clear the field, you can add "new_row" class name into the field.
   So, the class names being applied to Name 2 would be "column_2 new_row"

   This works just fine. Thanks! Is there a list of all the built-in classes somewhere that we can take a look at?

   You can check them directly into the view.css file, around line 1165

   Just a thought to add to this.

   If you are making 5 rows with 5 columns in each row, you only have to use the column_5 new_row command on the FIRST column of each row.

   That might have been clear to most people, but wasn't clear to me until I started playing with it.
