unaligned
Out of sync
Unaligned means not positioned in a straight line or not brought into proper arrangement: The wheels were unaligned, causing the car to pull left.
More abstractly, it describes someone or something not allied with a particular group, ideology, or position: unaligned nations during the Cold War, voters who remain unaligned with either party.
In computing and typography, unaligned text or data lacks uniform positioning.
