Go into form editing mode: Tools > Forms > Edit

and then select the fields you want to align, and: right-click > Align, Distribute or Center > Align Left

of whatever type of alignment you want. You can also drag guides from the rulers (Ctrl+R) and when you drag a field near one, the field border closest to the mouse pointer will gently snap to the guide.

Acrobat 11/DC have a number of keyboard accelerators that make this easier and quicker.
