In order to prevent overlapping I would like to set the labels of the x-axis to offset alternatingly as shown in the following picture:
I could not find a way to achieve that and would be grateful for any advise.

The method shown in that GIF works well. However, I don‘t quite understand the idea behind „Show at Specified Indices Only“ = 2
Wouldn‘t that mean that only every second minor tick label is shown?
However, I have a usecase in which neighter the above described method nor the „hack“ mentioned in your first post seems to work:
I have a box-plot in which I want to separate categories with a line (I chose to use settings in „Grids“). This only works when the bottom tick labels are not in the form of a table. In other words when „Tick Labels → Table“ is enabled, there is no tab for „Minor Tick Labels“.
I hope the following screenshots illustrate the issue:
I would be very grateful if you had an idea how I could solve this.

Hi,
There is no "official" way but there is a hack that will work if you are willing to do it.
In the source for your labels you wish to offset, position the caret at the beginning of the text and hit CTRL+Enter to add a carriage return at the start of the text. This will push the label down.
It's rough but in the end it gets the job done!
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
