Default Column Alignment

[edit]
Question
Is there any way to specify the default alignment of a column?
I want to make the Right-most column--the Visitor Count--to be right aligned, by default; I mean, I want the contents of the rightmost column to be aligned right without having to add any code, tags, etc., to the data, but I don't know if this is possible.
Short answer: No, unfortunately. Huon (talk) 18:39, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

...and how about this: Is there any way to put the caption below the table?
