I see output in columns either way. As far as I know, no customization
is necessary for that (and I would be surprised if there was, since the
output is already in columns when Emacs gets it).

What version of Emacs are you using and which shell mode are you using
(e.g. M-x shell, M-x eshell)?

And, just as a long shot, is it possible the font you're using in Emacs
isn't monospaced?
