Change growth direction for child elements in genealogytree

Question

Is there a way to change the growth direction in child elements? If I am using a lot of nodes the content will disappear in the right margins. A solution would be if the partner’s name would be left hanging instead of right, so the tree could be balanced around the center.

My Code:

Changing the order of appearance of the g-node works.

New NodeName4 and NodeName8 are now on the left side.
