Hi all, how do I modified Lee Mac's Align Text so that the Bottom Text is stationary? 

For example, "Lazy Dog" stays at the same location, while "Jumps Over the" and "The Quick Brown Fox" will move on top of it?

;;                                                                      ;;
;;  This program enables the user to reposition a selection of          ;;
;;  single-line text objects to be aligned by their text alignment      ;;
;;  points in a direction perpendicular to the rotation of the text,    ;;
;;  optionally equispaced by a factor of the text height.               ;;

I've tried swapping 10 11 to 11 10 but that didn't work

Please use Code Tags in the future. (<> in the editor toolbar)

Change:

(vl-sort-i ins '>)

 

to:

(vl-sort-i ins '<)

 

And the two instances of:

(- bp2 spf)

 

to:

(+ bp2 spf)
