[Resolved] Show custom post category in post list table

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The user wants to hide the default 'Category' column and move a custom column next to the 'Date' column on the right in the custom post type listing table.

Solution:

Toolset does not provide tools to modify the WordPress dashboard directly. However, the user can use default WordPress options by clicking "Screen Options" at the top of the post type listing screen to toggle columns on/off. Changing the order of columns in WordPress may require a third-party plugin.

Hi there,
Toolset does not have tools to change the content inside WordPress dashboard.

The only option you have are the default WordPress ones that you can find by clicking the "Screen Options" at the very top of the screen on the page that shows the custom post type listing.

there you can turn off/on which columns to show. However I am not aware of being able to change the order of the columns in WordPress.

You can consider a third party plugin to do that, I searched and found this that might help:
