How to centre text in a frame when using tabs to create a table?

Question

I have used the tabs panel on indesign to set regular sized tabs to create a middle aligned table. However, no matter what I do the first column is always aligned to the left even when the text box is set to be middle aligned. As soon as I press tab the first column always wants to be next to the text box. Does anyone know how to make the first column middle aligned?

​@Gord@APLis correct, but why don’t you use a table?
