Normally, alignment is controlled by one of the roles for the data 
method of the model. You have three options:
1) subclass QSqlTableModel and reimplement data to return the correct 
value for the alignment role and the column you want.
2) create a proxy model implementation that basically does the same 
(which is a bit more flexible, as you could apply it to other existing 
models such as the file system model).
3) create a delegate that overrides the alignment set by the model.

In my view, all of the above are valid approaches.
