You have to establish the elide mode with a delegate:

#include <QtWidgets>

class ElideLeftDelegate: public QStyledItemDelegate
{
public:
    using QStyledItemDelegate::QStyledItemDelegate;
protected:
    void initStyleOption(QStyleOptionViewItem *option, const QModelIndex &index) const{
        QStyledItemDelegate::initStyleOption(option, index);
        option->textElideMode = Qt::ElideLeft;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTreeWidget w;
    w.setItemDelegateForColumn(0, new ElideLeftDelegate{&w});
    w.setColumnCount(2);
    new QTreeWidgetItem(&w, {"abcdefghijklmnopqrdstuvwxyz", "AVCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"});
    new QTreeWidgetItem(&w, {"AVCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", "abcdefghijklmnopqrdstuvwxyz"});
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}
