Hi Nasser,

The trick is to wrap the position given by the list {side, align} within 
another list like {{side, align}}, otherwise the the flat list is 
interpreted as {side(for 1st lbl), side(for 2nd lbl)}.

In[1]:= Labeled["1 2 3", "A", {{Bottom, Left}}]

Out[1]= 1 2 3
         A

In[2]:= Labeled["1 2 3", "A", {{Bottom, Right}}]

Out[2]= 1 2 3
             A

Regards,
Jean-Marc
