See the comment in the affected source file. The problem here is that "align points vertically" is ambiguous. I wanted to stay consistent with what e.g. align-vertical-center means: it means that the aligned objects move vertically to line up on a common horizontal line.
No, that's even more confusing. Please restore the old order of buttons and their images, but simply rename "align horizontally" to "align on horizontal axis" in the tooltip, which is unambiguous. How the icons are named internally does not matter, what matters is their order, images, and tooltips (and the matching functions, of course).
Note that object align buttons do not say "align vertically", but "center on horizonal axis", "align bottoms", etc. This is exactly to avoid this ambiguity.
