+### Alignment
+Sometimes it is required to change the icon alignment on the button, like for switching between pages as in following example:
+
+```vue
+<template>
+	<div>
+		<div style="display: flex; gap: 12px;">
+			<NcButton aria-label="Previous" type="tertiary">
+				<template #icon>
+					<IconLeft :size="20" />
+				</template>
+				Previous page
+			</NcButton>
+			<NcButton alignment="end-reverse" aria-label="Previous" type="primary">
+				<template #icon>
+					<IconRight :size="20" />
+				</template>
+				Next page
+			</NcButton>
+		</div>
+	</div>
+</template>
+<script>
+import IconLeft from 'vue-material-design-icons/ArrowLeft.vue'
+import IconRight from 'vue-material-design-icons/ArrowRight.vue'
+
+export default {
+	components: {
+		IconLeft,
+		IconRight,
+	},
+}
+</script>
+```
+
 ### Pressed state
 It is possible to make the button stateful by adding a pressed state, e.g. if you like to create a favorite button.
 The button will have the required `aria` attribute for accessibility and visual style (`primary` when pressed, and the configured type otherwise).
