Yes, I have tried SES and I use Org tables. Alignment of text should
not be in tables, just something like
FIELD FIELD HERE AND MORE
FIELD AND MORE FIELD AND MORE TOO
MORE HERE AND HERE ALSO MORE
And I would need to inject in those fields values whichever come
first. Like if there is no value A, then B, and so on. So it is better
that I construct list programmatically and then make it display.
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|Something here |And more here |And here more |

+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|And osmething |This works |well |

+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|And more |more |more |

+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
This type of tables also exist under Tools / Table but I did not see
there is anything nice to make it programmatically. And I need not
have the lines, it could be empty as long as programmatically possible
without writing much code myself.
I will try to use something like:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AlignCommands#toc2
And this command:
(align BEG END &optional SEPARATE RULES EXCLUDE-RULES)
