Format of writing authors in ieee format in overleaf

Question

I have four authors in my paper and I want the format of the authors as 3 authors in the first row and 4th author exactly below the 2nd author in the second row:

First Last 1              First Last 2              First Last 3
Affiliation 1             Affiliation 2             Affiliation 3
first1.last1@xxxxx.com    first2.last2@xxxxx.com    first3.last3@xxxxx.com

                          First Last 4
                          Affiliation 4
                          first4.last4@xxxxx.com

How can this be done in overleaf, I am able to get 2 authors in 2 rows but not in this format. Any help is highly appreciated.

Welcome to TeX.SE! Formatting/writing authors is independent from editor (overleaf). You should inform us which document class you use, etc. The best way is to provide small, compilable document beginning with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document} — Zarko, Mar 07 '20 at 10:59
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I am using documentclass{ieeeconf} and have resolved the issue. Thanks! — sahillearner, Mar 07 '20 at 12:57
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because OP resolve the issue himself. — Zarko, Mar 07 '20 at 13:36
@Zarko Don't know if that changes anything, but since he accepted my answer, I would assume, he didn't solve it himself, but rather used the solution that I suggested. — Max, Mar 07 '20 at 18:05
@Max, I just repeat his claims: "I ... and have resolved the issue." Well, if you right, that (s)he should (honestly) said, that problem is solved by your answer. — Zarko, Mar 07 '20 at 18:15
Sorry for the confusion. Actually I also myself got a solution and when I saw solution provided by @Max, that is also correct, tried the one given by him too. Thanks for your responses. — sahillearner, Mar 10 '20 at 06:48

This can be done with a tabular environment:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tabular}{l@{\hskip 1cm} l@{\hskip 1cm} l}
        First Last 1 &  First Last 2 & First Last 3\\
        Affiliation 1 & Affiliation 2 & Affiliation 3\\
        first1.last1@xxxxx.com & first2.last2@xxxxx.com & first3.last3@xxxxx.com\\
        \\
        & First Last 4 \\
        & Affiliation 4\\
        & first4.last4@xxxxx.com\\
    \end{tabular}
\end{document}

Note that the space between the columns can be adjusted using the argument of hskip and the space between two lines can be changed by adding another blank line or, if necesarry something like vspace.
The output here would look like this:
