For my needs it is working perfectly (I didn't study it, because it
works so nicely in my programming mode "APDL-Mode" on Melpa). Here's an
example when setting parameters:

mp = 3333333
l =40.0
kkkkk=8

M-x apdl-align

mp    = 3333333
l     =      40.0
kkkkk =       8

(Don't know if this is convincing for you :-))

(defun apdl-align (p-min p-max)
  "Align current paragraph or selection of APDL variable definitions.
If a region is selected align it (with the region borders P-MIN
and P-MAX) otherwise align the current code paragraph."
  (interactive "r")
  (if mark-active
      (align p-min p-max)
    (align-current))) ; align-current needs a mark
