If you have a wheel mouse, try this next time you have the Object Alignment menu open (Arrange > Align).
Click the first option in either the Horizontal or Vertical Positions drop down list. The list will drop down. Click again on the first entry which now becomes selected. Roll the mouse wheel one way and the other. The icons in the preview window will move into the positions of the align options.
