Padding lists for accurate plotting

$begingroup$
I have the following data which is in the form of irregular/non rectangular arrays list1 = {{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5, 6, 7}, {8, 9, 10}, {11}, {12}} To transpose it for plotting, I have to use (because of the irregular shape) list2 = Flatten[list1, {{2}, {1}}] This is now a $3times1$ column. I want to plot this data, So I use the ListLinePlot as ListLinePlot[list2, DataRange -> {1, 3}, Frame -> True] The three rows are plotted as three curves, but the problem is that the upper two curves which correspond to the second and third row of list2 also start from 1 on the x-axis.? Shouldn't they start from 2 instead of 1? I thought I could use PadLeft or PadRight with empty entries {} to the left or right of the last two (2 element) rows of list2 (to make them 6 element rows,
