Hmm, I do have a fix if we are planning to make it similar to native (Window, Linux and MacOS). And FYI, windows native API [getdetailsof](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shobjidl_core/nf-shobjidl_core-ishellfolder2-getdetailsof) gives the alignment for columns irrespective of header/data, which is RIGHT alignment for `Size` column. If it is still debatable, then will it be better to open a new bug on Size alignment issue and handle it there?
