Horizontal Alignment AppBarButton - XAML

Question

I need to alignment "Button1" on left, and "Button2" on right, in my CommandBar.

I try put in code " HorizontalAlignment="Left" " in "Button1" but this not alignment in left. Always stay on right alignment.

My code is:

 <CommandBar x:Name="CommandBarTest" Grid.Row="1">
            <AppBarButton x:Name="Button1" Label="MyButton1" Click="MyButton1_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                <AppBarButton.Content>
                    <Grid>
                        <Border Margin="4,-1,0,13" Canvas.ZIndex="1" CornerRadius="15" Background="Black" Height="19" Width="19" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                            <TextBlock Text="2" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontSize="12" Foreground="White" TextLineBounds="Tight" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="3,5"></TextBlock>
                        </Border>
                        <TextBlock FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="24" Text="&#xE7EE;" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="12,3,12,4"></TextBlock>
                    </Grid>
                </AppBarButton.Content>
            </AppBarButton>
            <AppBarButton x:Name="Button2" Label="MyButton2">
                <AppBarButton.Content>
                    <Button Content="&#xE840;" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="20" Width="32" Height="32" Padding="0" Background="Transparent"/>
                </AppBarButton.Content>
            </AppBarButton>
 </CommandBar>

Someone Help me?

You should use PrimaryCommands (to the right) and SecondaryCommands(to the left) to move you appBarButtons to the left or to the right and that should be based on Microsoft Guidelines

 <CommandBar x:Name="CommandBarTest" Grid.Row="1" >
        <CommandBar.SecondaryCommands>
            <AppBarButton  x:Name="Button1" Label="MyButton1">
                <AppBarButton.Content>
                    <Grid>
                        <Border Margin="4,-1,0,13" Canvas.ZIndex="1" CornerRadius="15" Background="Black" Height="19" Width="19" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                            <TextBlock Text="2" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontSize="12" Foreground="White" TextLineBounds="Tight" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="3,5"></TextBlock>
                        </Border>
                        <TextBlock FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="24" Text="&#xE7EE;" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="12,3,12,4"></TextBlock>
                    </Grid>
                </AppBarButton.Content>
            </AppBarButton>
        </CommandBar.SecondaryCommands>   
        <CommandBar.PrimaryCommands>
            <AppBarButton x:Name="Button2" Label="MyButton2">
                <AppBarButton.Content>
                    <Button Content="&#xE840;" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="20" Width="32" Height="32" Padding="0" Background="Transparent"/>
                </AppBarButton.Content>
            </AppBarButton>
        </CommandBar.PrimaryCommands>           
    </CommandBar>

If you don't want to respect the guidelines you could simply use a Grid inside an AppBar instead,

 <AppBar>
        <Grid x:Name="CommandBarTest" >
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

            <AppBarButton Grid.Column="0"  x:Name="Button1" Label="MyButton1">
                <AppBarButton.Content>
                    <Grid>
                        <Border Margin="4,-1,0,13" Canvas.ZIndex="1" CornerRadius="15" Background="Black" Height="19" Width="19" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                            <TextBlock Text="2" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontSize="12" Foreground="White" TextLineBounds="Tight" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="3,5"></TextBlock>
                        </Border>
                        <TextBlock FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="24" Text="&#xE7EE;" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="12,3,12,4"></TextBlock>
                    </Grid>
                </AppBarButton.Content>
            </AppBarButton>


            <AppBarButton x:Name="Button2" Grid.Column="2" Label="MyButton2">
                <AppBarButton.Content>
                    <Button Content="&#xE840;" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="20" Width="32" Height="32" Padding="0" Background="Transparent"/>
                </AppBarButton.Content>
            </AppBarButton>
        </Grid>
    </AppBar>
