While working on a problem {solved by a different approach} I had:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | cut -f 10,12 -d ' ' > data.txt
I would then manually edit data.txt by replacing the space
character between the two fields with a tab.
I suspect I should be able to do:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | cut -f 10,12 -d ' ' |

What you want is a tool that can handle fields delimited by one
or more whitespace characters. Regular expressions come to
mind, but RTFM cut(1) doesn't look promising:

One might assume the OP wants something like
$ lsblk -l -o NAME,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT
NAME LABEL MOUNTPOINT
sda
sda2 SYSTEM_DRV
sda3 LRS_ESP
sda4
sda6 swan06 /
sda7 swan07 /wrenbk
sda10 swan10 [SWAP]
swanhome /home
One might assume correctly :!
It even pretty prints the way I prefer.
That it can be sorted on a column is a bonus.
*THANK YOU*
