Level Text Justification

Is it possible to set the level head text to always be Left Justified whether the elevation is on the left or right side of the drawing?  I cant seem to find a setting that sets the justification.

@Anonymous hello, level head is always in the left it's a default, what do you mean, please some more explanations? Or you can click your levels/grid  and use propagate extents to copy in elevations or sections or pick the level just tick/untick the box if you want in the left or right your level head. thanks

What I am looking for is how to justify the text.  it is inconsistent.  on the right side text is right justified but on the left I have run into a case where text is justified to both the left or right.  see attachments.

Try to keep the Level name brief and don't wrap the label so that it stays on a single line.  Add a shared parameter to another label.

I guess my biggest problem with the level tags are that they do not follow conventional drafting techniques.  I have never seen a level tag that is right justified in over 30 years of design experience.  Regardless of which side the Elevation Tag is, the elevation target (or bullseye as Ive heard it called often is ALWAYS on the left, with the Level Designation and Elevation to the right of the target.  In conventional CAD Drafting whether its a block in AutoCAD or a Cell in Microstation, they are used on both the left or the right.  I cant think of any reason the programmers would have to change this convention.
