Answer 1

@LoicTheAztec answer does not work for me, i modified his answer and replace the custom_admin_order_item_values function with below, then it work.

// Custom column content in the order "line items" html table
function custom_admin_order_item_values( $item_name, $item, $is_visible ){
    $product_id = $item->get_product_id(); // Get the product Id
    $excerpt = get_the_excerpt( $product_id ); // Get the short description
    // Output
    echo '<td class="line_custom-description">' . $excerpt . '</td>';
}

Answer 2

Try the following instead (Code is commented):

// Add a custom column to the order "line items" html table
add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_item_headers', 'custom_admin_order_items_headers', 20, 1 );
function custom_admin_order_items_headers( $order ){

    echo '<th class="line_custom-title sortable" data-sort="your-sort-option">';
    echo __('Short description', 'woocommerce') . '</th>';
}

// Custom column content in the order "line items" html table
add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_order_item_values', 'custom_admin_order_item_values', 20, 3 );
function custom_admin_order_item_values( $_product, $item, $item_id ) {
    // Only for "line_item" items type
    if( ! $item->is_type('line_item') ) return;

    // For product variation, we get the parent variable product (in case of)
    if( $_product->is_type('variation') ){
        $parent_product = $_product->get_parent();
        // The product variation description (as short description doesn't exist)
        $excerpt        = $_product->get_description(); 
        // If product variation description doesn't exist we display the short description of the parent variable product
        $excerpt        = empty($excerpt) ? $parent_product->get_short_description() : $excerpt;
    }
    // For other product types
    else {
        $excerpt        = $_product->get_short_description();
    }

    // Output
    echo '<td class="line_custom-description">' . $excerpt . '</td>';
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works
