I found some time today to explore and have managed to answer my own
question. Unsurprisingly, org has what I need!
Using the answer given to a related question on StackExchange [1], I
came up with this simple function:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun esf/todo-column-display-filter (column-title value)
(when (and value (not (string= value ""))
(or (string= column-title "SCHEDULED")
(string= column-title "DEADLINE")))
(format-time-string "%e %b %A" (org-time-string-to-time value))))
(setq-local org-columns-modify-value-for-display-function
#'esf/todo-column-display-filter)
#+end_src
Makes my column view much easier to read for seeing my todo list!
Thank you,
eric
