Blog post tiles are right justified – can I change this?

    Sorry if that title doesn’t make much sense—let me try to explain.

    I’ve been tasked with doing some website maintenance for a clinic. One of the site’s features is a page with profiles for each of the providers at the clinic. Each of these profiles is a separate blog post, with the provider’s photo as the featured image. Since blog posts normally appear with the most recent post first, I’ve gone in and altered the timestamps to put them in the order I want (alphabetical order by provider last name).

    As I’ve worked on updating the providers’ profiles and adding new ones, I’ve noticed the tiles for each post—aka each provider’s photo/profile—seem to be right-justified on the page. You can see here that when there’s an extra provider at the end of the list on a new row, they end up over on the right side of the screen, rather than centered or on the left.

    I’ve also had to get tricky with the timestamps because of this. I’ve had to put some of the blog posts out of order in order to actually get them to show up in alphabetical order on the site, because it seems to be displaying them from right to left instead of left to right like you’d expect. Aside from the weird right-justification at the end of the list, the layout looks okay when viewing it in a browser, but if I look at it on mobile or in a resized browser window, all the post tiles show up in their true timestamp order so the providers’ names are all out of order.

    Hopefully that makes sense. Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how to fix it? I’ve checked the settings in the customizer and haven’t been able to find anything that looks like it will help—the only real useful setting has been for choosing how many blog post tiles to display per row. Not sure if there’s something that needs to be tweaked in the coding or what.

    The site theme is Mesmerize PRO.
