You can even add thumbnails to the lists, I just learned [from here](http://craftcms.stackexchange.com/q/6683/125)!

Ok. Looks like I need to level up and learn plugin development. Thanks.

<p>For example, in addition to the auto-generated title for an entry is it possible to display another column alongside with another field? I would like data input be as easy as possible for the client. The more information available on this page to view and sort by the better.</p>

<p>Unless there is another way to approach this I am not aware of? Would a plugin be required for example?</p>

Check out [DashCols](https://github.com/mmikkel/DashCols-Craft), a plugin which makes it easy to add custom fields to entry tables.

Thank you @JamesMuspratt, my pleasure. The OP is looking to also _sort_ by custom fields though, which DashCols doesn't offer as of yet. It's in the pipeline, though :)

Is it possible to display additional fields on the entries list in admin?

Yes, since Craft 2.3 you can edit the CP's index views for entries, assets, etc. from a plugin.

Have a look at the documentation for the hooks [`defineAdditionalEntryTableAttributes`](https://craftcms.com/docs/plugins/hooks-reference#defineAdditionalEntryTableAttributes) and [`getEntryTableAttributeHtml`](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/hooks-reference#getEntryTableAttributeHtml) to see some sample code. Making a little plugin for this is easy, simply copy and paste the above sample code into your [primary plugin class](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/setting-things-up#your-primary-plugin-class) and then edit the parameters.
