does anyone know which way the rows should be straighten?
بلغ العلى بكماله كشف الدجى بجماله
حسنت جميع خصاله صلوا عليه و آله
He attained exaltation by his perfection,
He dispelled darkness by his beauty,
Beauteous are all his qualities,
Benediction be on him and on his family.
(Shaykh Sa'adi rahmatullah alayhi)

it should be strighten from the centre

That's right. And the row must balance between right side and left side.
Do not follow the rule 'shoulder to shoulder' literally or you cannot move your body.Standing close together (shoulder to shoulder) and placing the heels on the line provided in the Masjid is sufficient for straightening the rows.
'Shoulder to shoulder' means 'do not make space between you and someone beside you that enough for human stand on it' because shaytan will stand on this space and annoy you.

The bold part is not true in my experience. I mean you can't move your body side to side, but you don't need to do that while praying anyway? If we followed your rule, we could leave a LOT of space between people before it was enough for a human to stand on it.
The shoulders should be joined so that Allah will join your hearts, and do not leave any gaps.
