Swap H and C in an alkyl chain label

Hello,

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I haven't manage to find anything with a search. I'm drawing a molecule and I need to add an alkyl chain as a side label (e.g. C6H13). If said label is on the right of the molecule, all is good in the world, and the bond is attached to the C6 part of the label. If the label is on the left, however, the bond is attached to the H13 part of the label (i.e. the label is still written C6H13 instead of H13C6), which is not goo. I even have an alkoxy chain that is currently written as C6H13O instead of H13C6O. How can I swap the positions of C and H, so that the label reads correctly?

  If I understand correctly, you are trying to get the single bond on the Carbon atom present in the lable. Is that accurate?

  If so, select the lable using Lasso or Marque tool and then right click then select 'Algnment' from the Context menu. Then click on the 'Flush Left' from the sub menu that pops up. Alternatively you can click the Shift + Ctrl + L keys

  Currently it is not possible.
  
  Let me pass on this information to the R&D team for future consideration
