thank you sierra engineers for an amazing product!

quick question, can i change how the volume bars are displayed for specific columns in the chart dom?

e.g. customize chart dom, here are my visible columns in order:

price
bid market depth pull/stack
bid size/buy column
recent bid volume
recent ask volume
ask size/sell column
ask market depth pull/stack


the volume bar showing from left to right makes sense for:
bid market depth pull/stack
bid size/buy column
recent bid volume

the following by default is showing the volume bar from right to left, which is amazing:
recent ask volume

now i'm wondering if the following two columns' volume bars can also be shown from right to left:
ask size/sell column
ask market depth pull/stack


this will make the 'ask size/sell column' & 'ask market depth pulling/stacking' more intuitive to read :)

is this currently supported?

thanks!

I am second to this suggestion. Also, when you get to this point please be so kind as to consider adding a "center volume bars" option as well to the DOM columns (chart DOM as well). Similar to what can be seen in the below linked screengrab from my custom setup in another platform.
Centering all volume bars in the DOM is more efficient visualization, faster for the trader to compare the volumes, than left/right bars.

Thanks for your attention.
