Lining up the boxes with negative entries in a Young tableau

Question

Given the partition (5,2), I would like the boxes in the following Young tableau to line up:
documentclass{article}
usepackage[enableskew]{youngtab} 
begin{document}
$young({-3}{-2}{-1}01,:23)$
end{document}

More specifically, the box containing 2 should be below the box containing -2 and the box containing 3 should be below the box containing -1, and I would like the boxes to all have the same size.

You could use a different package called ytableau, where it seems to be easer to achieve what you want, since the syntax is more "tabular-like". none is used to have no box at the first place of the second line. Set the boxsize to a value you like.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{ytableau} 
begin{document}
ytableausetup{mathmode, boxsize=2em}
begin{ytableau}
-3 & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1
none & 2 & 3
end{ytableau}
end{document}
