we store the namespace when scratch orgs get created since we know it. We've never asked an org during auth about its namespace, but we certainly could (and then store that so it shows up for list/display).

This would also help the situation where you auth to a previously created scratch org with a namespace (those would also show up as blank).

[ragoergens]

Sounds great, thanks! This kind of consistency would be helpful.

We might add this in the future but I'll mark this as help wanted in case you or anyone else want to add this feature.

As Shane mentioned, we already store the namespace prefix when a scratch org is created:
https://github.com/forcedotcom/sfdx-core/blob/main/src/org/authInfo.ts#L88

(you can confirm this if you linked a namespace to your hub and created a scratch org, run force:org:list to get the username and then look at the auth file in ~/.sfdx/<USERNAME>.json, you should see the namespacePrefix field in the json).

force:org:list: add NAMESPACE PREFIX column

this should be pretty easy, just add an object with the header for the table and the getter for the namespacePrefix field (you might need to add the field to the ExtendedAuthFields type too). the json output will include the new field too, no need to add anything else there.

see how the ALIAS column work, you can add the namespace prefix column next to it:
https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-org/blob/441f4f38e85e32bd11b4440e6c24aad258604fcc/src/commands/org/list.ts#L183-L186

feel free to post here any questions you have.

Thanks for this! I'm not yet ts literate, but I'll try to ask a colleague who is.
