The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to straighten our rows when we stood up to pray, and when we were straight, he said: Allah is most great (takbir).  

أبو داود:٦٦٥ – حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي صَغِيرَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُسَوِّي صُفُوفَنَا إِذَا قُمْنَا لِلصَّلاَةِ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْنَا كَبَّرَ
