It seems that \hphantom{} is ignored at the beginning of an item. The MWE below yields:

How to get "First" and "Second" aligned?.

I know that you have to use \hspace*{} instead of \hspace{} at the beginning of a line, but it does not seem as if \hphantom*{} or \phantom*{} exist.

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
    \item {}\hphantom{x }First Item.
    \item x Second Item.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

    \leavevmode\hphantom{x } – egreg Feb 02 '18 at 09:18
  • @egreg: I personally don't think that this is a duplicate of the linked question. Lists are quite different than tabular. I am not sure if had I seen that other question, if I would have realized it was the same problem. touhami's comment explains the problem and you provided the\leavevmode\hphantom{x } solution . So, as long as your comment does not get deleted, this is fine. – Peter Grill Feb 02 '18 at 19:57
