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