I must have missed something while testing the behavior. Because, I had a button all the way to the right of other buttons in a 
Panel, and when I ran the program, it moved to the middle. So, I tried to rearrange the buttons by rearranging the hierarchy.

I see now that when the Arrangement is manually changed to Horizontal, the hierarchy is automatically changed to respect the X 
properties.

Okay. Thank you.
