If you want to add the shipping method to a column in your admin sales order grid, create a module to override app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Sales/Order/Grid.php and add the following code to the _prepareColumns() method wherever you want the column to be:
$this->addColumn('shipping_description', array( 'header' => Mage::helper('sales')->__('Shipping Method'), 'index' => 'shipping_description', ));
Tried but this does not works….
Harsh – I just did it recently too, and I followed my post, and it worked fine for me. Perhaps you didn’t do it quite right.
What about modifying the redirect url so that when you ship an order (from inside the order using the ship button) that it returns to the sales grid instead of looping back to inside the order?
