WooCommerce: Moving column position in admin product list

1. There is many ways to achieve this. I have chosen the simplest way to do it. You can use the code snippet below to change “Cost” column location before “price” column, in product post_type backend list:

   // ADDING A CUSTOM COLUMN TITLE TO ADMIN PRODUCTS LIST AFTER "Price" COLUMN
   add_filter( 'manage_edit-product_columns', 'custom_product_column',11);
   function custom_product_column($columns)
   {
       $new_columns = array();
       foreach( $columns as $key => $column ){
           $new_columns[$key] =  $columns[$key];
           if( $key === 'price' )
               $new_columns['cost'] = __( 'Cost','woocommerce');
       }
       return $new_columns;
   }
   
   // ADDING THE DATA FOR EACH PRODUCTS BY COLUMN (EXAMPLE)
   add_action( 'manage_product_posts_custom_column' , 'custom_product_list_column_content', 10, 2 );
   function custom_product_list_column_content( $column, $product_id )
   {
       global $post;
   
       switch ( $column )
       {
           case 'cost' :
               // Get and display the value for each row
               echo get_post_meta( $product_id, '_cost', true );
               break;
       }
   }
   

   Tested and works.

2. Use the add_filter(manage_edit-posttype_columns, yourFunction) where posttype is your post type. Then list your columns in yourFunction the order you want. The best tutorial I’ve seen on this is here.
