Another option: some other tools I have used have you pick the reference object after executing the command. This approach has the advantage of working the same way if you execute the align command from a keyboard shortcut (where there might not be an obvious reference object to pick).

IMHO it is better to be able to pick the reference object than to assume that the user always wants to align to the rightmost selected object (the previous behavior)
