Flush page number at right in glossary

Question

How can we flush right the page number in the glossary/index considering the following MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style=super]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{label}{name={Name}, description={Description}}

\begin{document}

\glsaddall
\printglossaries

\end{document}

... which gives this output

I want the page number to be at the far right of the page, is it possible to do so ?

Answer 1

It could be also done with style=super. Here is a step-by-step solution. At the end i added another alternative with \usepackage{glossary-superragged}. But first i will start with adaptions to your mwe.

1. (OPTIONAL) Visualize the margins with \usepackage{showframe}
2. (OPTIONAL) Visualize borders of the style super with superborder \usepackage[style=superborder,automake]{glossaries}. Later you could use the original \usepackage[style=super,automake]{glossaries} without lines around it.
3. Shift page number to the right with \renewcommand*\glspostdescription{\hfill}. Similar to @clemens answer here.
4. For the next step you need \usepackage{calc}. Have a look to 15.1.5 Supertabular Styles,p.226 and redefine glsdescwidth so that it fits the rest of the page. Done with \setlength\glsdescwidth{\textwidth-\widthof{longest Name}-4\tabcolsep}. Note: Instead of longest Name you have to write always your longest glossaries entry.

Results with superborder, border and as an alternativeglossary-supperragged:

MWE: style=super/ superborder(=super with horizontal and vertical lines around it)

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
%\usepackage{showframe}

\usepackage[style=super,automake]{glossaries}
%OR \usepackage[style=superborder,automake]{glossaries}

\renewcommand*\glspostdescription{\hfill}

\usepackage{calc}

\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{label}{name={Name}, description={Description}}
\newglossaryentry{labelLong}{name={longest Name}, description={Description}}
\begin{document}
\setlength\glsdescwidth{\textwidth-\widthof{longest Name}-4\tabcolsep}

\glsaddall
\printglossaries
\end{document}

MWE: alternative with glossary-supperragged

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[automake]{glossaries}
\usepackage{glossary-superragged}
\renewcommand*\glspostdescription{\hfill}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{label}{name={Name}, description={Description}}
\newglossaryentry{labelLong}{name={longest Name}, description={Description}}
%\usepackage{showframe}
\begin{document}
\glsaddall
\printglossaries
\end{document}

Thanks to Troy, the solution is to load a different style :

\usepackage[style=super4col]{glossaries}

do the job.
