Legend Arrangement - Prevent Column overflow from appearing inline with Layer Name

I don't know if this is just a default quirk with how ArcGIS Pro handles Legends (which has been a big improvement over ArcMap so far) But one thing that's been bugging me and I've been looking for a way to change is to keep all symbol swatches/labels that fall under a single layer from appearing inline with the Layer Name when fitting the Legend to a strip.

An example of what I'm talking about in the legend below:

All of the point swatches are part of the same layer - however, I don't like that when "squishing" the legend down it moves the next item after the break to appear inline with the Layer Name. I would much prefer it if the item after the break, (in this case Herb Robert) appeared inline with the first swatch instead (Knotweed Species).

i.e. fitting all symbol swatches/labels below the red line in the image below:

Does anyone know a way in the Legend settings to get what I'm attempting? Besides just converting the legend to a graphics item that is . . .

Thanks!

Sadly, you can't do this automatically in Pro right now. However it is an idea you can vote on here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/center-heading-above-class-labels-in-multi-column/idi-p/925428
