Page Layout ⇒ Align multicols on the bottom

[skip]

I have a multicols environment set up like

Code: Select all

\begin{multicols}{2}
% some text
\columnbreak
% some more text
\end{multicols}

The text in the right hand column (after the columnbreak) is usually a bit shorter than that on the left and I would like it to be vertically aligned so the bottoms of both columns are aligned. I tried putting a \vfill at the top the the right hand column but that didn't seem to do anything. Any other ways to try and achieve this?

I managed to solve this:

Code: Select all

\begin{multicols}{2}
% text
\vfill
\columnbreak
\vspace*{\fill}
% text
\end{multicols}

Thank you, skip,

after carefully examining your code, I decided to switch orders, resulting in an alignment by the top, which was my purpose.

Code: Select all

		\begin{multicols}{2}
			\begin{align*}
% some equations
			\end{align*}
			\vfill
			\columnbreak
			\begin{align*}
% related equations
			\end{align*}
			\vspace*{\fill}
		\end{multicols}
