I doubt if you can do that. only reference type field can be clickable as second column 

May i know your business need. 

have a look on blog below. this would be not exact same what are you looking for but this might give you some idea.

Hi Ramesh,

That may not be possible out of the box

What is the business requirement here to do this?

Hi

There is a OOB rule applying to lists:

a) if the first column is NOT a Reference field, the form of the current table will be opened

b) if the first column IS a Reference field, the form of the referenced table will be opened.

I do not think, you can change this standard behaviour.

Let me know, if that answers your question and mark my answer as correct and helpful, please.

Thanks & BR

So the system makes the first non-reference field a link to the record.  There are a few ways to make the second column a link but I do not advise any of them.

1 - Create a UI Script that manipulates the DOM.  Don't do this, not a best practice and could slow things down and also could break after an upgrade.

2 - Create a Document ID column and have it its table column set to sys_class_name.  Then on insert set the DocumentID field you created to the sys_id of the current record.  Then where ever that column is in the list it will be a link to the current record but it will says

Not the best display but it works.  I would not do this one either because it just adds complexity for no real benefit but if you must have it this way its the easiest one I know of.
