[Tex/LaTex] How to align author blocks when using IEEEtran document class

ieeetran

The second line is not properly aligned when I use the script below: 

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\begin{document}
\title{TITLE}
\author{
\IEEEauthorblockN{author 1}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{Dept. of Computer Engineering} \\
\textit{A University}\\
City, Country \\
e-mail}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockN{author 2}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{Dept. of Electrical and Electronics Engineering} \\
\textit{A University}\\
City, Country \\
e-mail}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockN{author 3}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{Dept. of Computer Engineering} \\
\textit{A University}\\
City, Country \\
e-mail}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockN{author 4}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{Dept. of Computer Engineering} \\
\textit{A University}\\
City, Country \\
e-mail}
\and
\IEEEauthorblockN{author 5}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\textit{Dept. of Computer Engineering} \\
\textit{A University}\\
City, Country \\
e-mail}
\and
}
\maketitle
\end{document}

The alignment looks like this:

How can I fix this?

Best Answer

in documentation for the package IEEEtran you can find on the page 5:

If there are more than three authors and/or the text is too wide to fit across the page, use an alternate long format:

\author{
\IEEEauthorblockN{Michael Shell\IEEEauthorrefmark{1},
Homer Simpson\IEEEauthorrefmark{2},
James Kirk\IEEEauthorrefmark{3},
Montgomery Scott\IEEEauthorrefmark{3} and
Eldon Tyrell\IEEEauthorrefmark{4}}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{1}School of Electrical and Computer Engineering\\
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30 332--0250\\
Email: mshell@ece.gatech.edu}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{2}Twentieth Century Fox, Springfield, USA\\
Email: homer@thesimpsons.com}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{3}Starfleet Aca
demy, San Francisco, California 96678-2391\\
Telephone: (800) 555--1212, Fax: (888) 555--1212}
\IEEEauthorblockA{\IEEEauthorrefmark{4}Tyrell Inc.,
123 Replicant Street, Los Angeles, California 90210
--4321}}

which gives:

this means that you should rewrite your author field on the way as is shown above.
