When I go to the titles listing of tv shows there are a number of options.  I prefer the one that lists the shows alphabetically. That listing also includes a second column listing the status of watched episodes.  While there are other listing options available, the one that I want would be to have the tv shows listed alphabetically and also a column showing the year of the tv show instead of or in addition to the column which shows the status of watched episodes.  Is there any availability for that at present?

The data displayed is determined by the skin being used.  You could look at some of the alternative skins, or in the skin support forum there are typically "mod" versions and a modder for your skin could probably give you a quick edit that you could apply.  Assuming you are referring to Estuary in Kodi 21, the easiest way to get that is to Navigate to your Kodi install folder then addons/skin.estuary/xml.  In that folder open Variables.xml in a text editor and on line 90:

xml:
<value condition="String.IsEmpty(Container.PluginName) + Container.Content(tvshows) + Container.SortMethod(29)">$VAR[WatchedStatusVar]</value>

change $VAR[WatchedStatusVar] to $INFO[ListItem.Year]

An experienced Estuary modder could probably walk you through adding the year instead of replacing the watched status, but that requires working with the layout so you don't get things like text overlap.
