Is it possible to align all the molecules to a common substructure?

Please indicate if I'm wrong, but I understand your case like aiming to sort molecules
featuring the same core substructure in groups together. If so, I suggest to try
Chemistry -> Analyse Scaffolds -> Murcko scaffold. This will add a new column which
equally allows sorting of the data set, e.g. to alter a sort by structure (here, the
first column):

index.php?t=getfile&id=115&private=0

by a sorting according to the Murcko scaffold (here the third column):

index.php?t=getfile&id=116&private=0

As usual, the header of the column (e.g., the third one) may be renamed to your needs.
Note, the manual includes an illustrated definition about different scaffold criteria
available to you ( http://www.openmolecules.org/help/chemistry.html#ScaffoldAna lysis).

You can generate new atom coordinates with:

"Chemistry -> Generate 2D Atom Coordinates"

Then check

"Automatically detect scaffolds and unify their orientation"
and select a scaffold detection method: "most central" should be fine

When clicking OK, DataWarrior will rearrange your 2D-structures such that the most central ring system, where multiple molecule share the same scaffold, this scaffold is always drawn the same way.

For more flexibility, you may provide scaffolds with defined coordinates in the same dialog.
