I guess the numeric IDs are usually the minority in the mixed case,
so it would be best to align left in that case?
Are mixed names/IDs a common case for you?
I.E. is it worth worrying about this?
It's easy enough to fix, but it would be nice
to know if it was a common issue, as I've not encountered it at least.

cheers,
