It's one of those things that might help or might not. I have had to do something similar recently. The sort needed to ignore a prefix because that's the way users always thought about them.

Hiding it doesn't help because the columns don't grow to take up the unused space. However, moving it to the end does help because you can hide most of the column behind the right side of the dialog and use the tool tip or scroll bar to see it if needed. I did this.
That works well.

I was going to say that you had not swapped the width of the two columns. But, I realised they were saved. Which is fine as they should be good for new users. But, it did discover that the widths are only saved if the "Apply" button is pressed and that means a column has to be changed. I'm not sure if there is a good fix for that.

Sorry, I am not going to add that. I think it would turn into a good deed that can't go unpunished.
