The behavior of multi-column footnotes will depend on how the document was created. For example, a brand new document in Word 2019 will always starts the footnotes in the left-most column. Documents in compatibility mode will behave differently. I'm not sure when this started, but multi-column footnotes in a document saved to the *.doc format will definitely start the footnotes in the second column (for example), if that is where the corresponding note in the body of document is located.
