   So you if you want to add some columns in the orders Admin list page (in backend):

   ADDING COLUMNS IN WOOCOMMERCE ADMIN ORDERS LIST

   In the example below, we add 2 new custom columns, before existing “Total” and “Actions” columns.

   // ADDING 2 NEW COLUMNS WITH THEIR TITLES (keeping "Total" and "Actions" columns at the end)
   add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'custom_shop_order_column', 20 );
   function custom_shop_order_column($columns)
   {
       $reordered_columns = array();
   
       // Inserting columns to a specific location
       foreach( $columns as $key => $column){
           $reordered_columns[$key] = $column;
           if( $key ==  'order_status' ){
               // Inserting after "Status" column
               $reordered_columns['my-column1'] = __( 'Title1','theme_domain');
               $reordered_columns['my-column2'] = __( 'Title2','theme_domain');
           }
       }
       return $reordered_columns;
   }
   
   // Adding custom fields meta data for each new column (example)
   add_action( 'manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column' , 'custom_orders_list_column_content', 20, 2 );
   function custom_orders_list_column_content( $column, $post_id )
   {
       switch ( $column )
       {
           case 'my-column1' :
               // Get custom post meta data
               $my_var_one = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_the_meta_key1', true );
               if(!empty($my_var_one))
                   echo $my_var_one;
   
               // Testing (to be removed) - Empty value case
               else
                   echo '<small>(<em>no value</em>)</small>';
   
               break;
   
           case 'my-column2' :
               // Get custom post meta data
               $my_var_two = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_the_meta_key2', true );
               if(!empty($my_var_two))
                   echo $my_var_two;
   
               // Testing (to be removed) - Empty value case
               else
                   echo '<small>(<em>no value</em>)</small>';
   
               break;
       }
   }
   

   Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
