If I have four authors in a conference (IEEETran) paper, how can I center align only the last one of them?

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
% The preceding line is only needed to identify funding in the first footnote. If that is unneeded, please comment it out.
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\def\BibTeX{{\rm B\kern-.05em{\sc i\kern-.025em b}\kern-.08em
    T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}
\begin{document}

\title{Title*\\
{\footnotesize \textsuperscript{*}Note: Sub-titles are not captured in Xplore and
should not be used}
\thanks{Identify applicable funding agency here. If none, delete this.}
}

\author{\IEEEauthorblockN{1\textsuperscript{st} Given Name Surname}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{dept. name of organization (of Aff.)} \\
\textit{name of organization (of Aff.)}\\
City, Country \\
email address}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockN{2\textsuperscript{nd} Given Name Surname}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{dept. name of organization (of Aff.)} \\

Solution

  • You can use the same approach as in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/458208

    \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
    \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
    % The preceding line is only needed to identify funding in the first footnote. If that is unneeded, please comment it out.
    \usepackage{cite}
    \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
    \usepackage{algorithmic}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{textcomp}
    \usepackage{xcolor}
    \def\BibTeX{{\rm B\kern-.05em{\sc i\kern-.025em b}\kern-.08em
        T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}
    
    \makeatletter
    \newcommand{\linebreakand}{%
      \end{@IEEEauthorhalign}
      \hfill\mbox{}\par
      \mbox{}\hfill\begin{@IEEEauthorhalign}
    }
    \makeatother
    
    \begin{document}
    
    \title{Title*\\
    {\footnotesize \textsuperscript{*}Note: Sub-titles are not captured in Xplore and
    should not be used}
    \thanks{Identify applicable funding agency here. If none, delete this.}
    }
    
    \author{\IEEEauthorblockN{1\textsuperscript{st} Given Name Surname}
    \IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{dept. name of organization (of Aff.)} \\
    \textit{name of organization (of Aff.)}\\

    \and
