Qliksense formatting question

Hello all,  I have started working recently in Qlik.. 

I have questions on formatting. 

a) In the filter pane - I see Year filter is always right justified. How can I change it to left justified. I explored all the options in presentation but could not find a way to left justify the filter options. How ever I could see option to left justify the field itself i.e. year but not those values. 

b) In pivot table I have Total column on the left most side and it is in bold. I want the totals column to appear rightmost and not bold. Or is there a way to bold the values of pivot table? 

Can someone please advise these questions. I am not sure how to resolve. Appreciate your help

I'll give you an answer for question a. 

Qlik treats string and numerics differently in regard to alignment. Numerics are right aligned and strings are left aligned. This will in general make it easier to  read text and compare numerics.

A quick fix for making Year left align is therefore to present the value as a string. Try defining year like this in your script.

text(year(Date) ) as Year

Or using a calculated dimension in your app, like this

=text(Year)
