<p class="p_Normal">The Alignment tab settings control the algorithm for aligning rows in the comparison.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Pick <span class="f_Command">Sorted alignment</span> to reorder the rows based on their keys before aligning them.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Pick <span class="f_Command">Unaligned</span> to compare files without aligning rows based on their content.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Pick <span class="f_Command">Standard alignment</span> to align the files by comparing successively smaller sections of each file. Parts of the alignment can be shown before the entire comparison is finished.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Pick <span class="f_Command">Myers O(ND) alignment</span> to align the files using a common LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) algorithm. This can give better matches in certain cases, such as large inserts or when the files contain a lot of repeating text. Since files are compared all at once, larger file scans take much longer than the standard method, and the files are not displayed until the comparison is complete. It does not support similarity comparisons, so mismatches will be grouped in blocks.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Pick <span class="f_Command">Patience Diff alignment</span> to align the files using Bram Cohen's algorithm.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Mark the <span class="f_Command">Use closeness matching</span> checkbox to attempt to align the remaining mismatched rows based on their similarity.</p>
