Table alignment}} can be used to align the cells in a whole column without adding code to each cell. For example, left aligning the first column, and center aligning the fourth column. And default aligning all other cells to the right: {
Help:Table/Advanced § Tables with sticky headers {{sticky table start}} - allows sticky rows and columns inside a scrollable area. {} – Can be used to help narrow columns by adding a soft hyphen to a word to allow it to wrap. More template styles for tables: {} - moves the sorting arrows under the headers.

sticky-table-colN: Make column N left sticky where N is a number from 1 to 2. Limit 1 to avoid stacking issues where a wider column 1 is still visible. Unpredictable results if the column spans or is spanned with the colspan attribute. Avoid making an excessively wide column sticky that might block too much data on narrow screens (ex. mobile ...
If the first text-word is too long, no text will fit to complete the left-hand side, so beware creating a "ragged left margin" when not enough space remains for text to fit alongside floating-tables. If multiple single image-tables are stacked, they will float to align across the page, depending on page-width.
