  We study the state-resolved production of neon ion after resonant
photoionization of Ne via the $2s$-$3p$ Fano resonance. We find that by tuning
the photon energy across the Fano resonance a surprisingly high control over
the alignment of the final $2p$ hole along the polarization direction can be
achieved. In this way hole alignments can be created that are otherwise very
hard to achieve. The mechanism responsible for this hole alignment is the
destructive interference of the direct and indirect (via the autoionizing
$2s^{-1}3p$ state) ionization pathways of $2p$. By changing the photon energy
the strength of the interference varies and $2p$-hole alignments with ratios up
to 19:1 between $2p_0$ and $2p_{\pm 1}$ holes can be created: an effect
normally only encountered in tunnel ionization using strong-field IR pulses.
Including spin-orbit interaction does not change the qualitative feature and
leads only to a reduction in the alignment by $2/3$. Our study is based on a
time-dependent configuration-interaction singles (TDCIS) approach which solves
the multichannel time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation.
