add_filter( 'wpmu_users_columns', function ( $columns ) {
    $columns['wpide_last_login'] = __( 'Last login' );

    return $columns;
} );

add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', function ( $output, $column, $user_id ) {
    if ( 'wpide_last_login' !== $column ) {
        return $output;
    }

    $time = (int) get_user_meta( $user_id, 'wpide_network_last_login', true );

    if ( ! $time ) {
        return '—';
    }

    return sprintf(
        '<span title="%1$s">%2$s</span>',
        esc_attr( wp_date( 'Y-m-d H:i', $time ) ),
        /* translators: %s: human time difference */
        esc_html( sprintf( __( '%s ago' ), human_time_diff( $time ) ) )
    );
}, 10, 3 );
```

## Notes

The column fills in as people log in after you activate the snippet; earlier logins are not known.
