[IxDA Discuss] Label alignment left or right?

[sysscore]

Hallo,

 

I have a problem at the definition of the layout guideline of our software
company (software is a desktop application and not a web forms). In many
discussions it is said that the right alignment is a good alternative to
vertical positioning of labels. But in some cases left-alignment labels are
better structured (if I use multiple columns). It is said likewise that the
consistence in the complete application is very important. 

 

My question: Can I use a mixture of both in the applictation layout?

And if not, what is the best standard  

 

 

Thanx in advance
