I wouldn't move the column, I would get a metal/welder person out to add to the hinge on the column.

As simple as those hinges are, they could add a rod to a pipe, giving a couple inches back at the top to be able to adjust it into plumb.

that's a good temporary fix. but if the underlying reason for the tilt isn't resolved it will keep on creeping over

Personally I'd do this until the brick column needed to be removed and then just redo it from scratch. Easier to save up and wait until then instead of shelling out a bunch of money now.

it would be the smart move. at the same time if you can also solve the underlying reason for the slump the time frame for the big fix gets even longer

He doesn't even have to do that. The top hinge hook is a threaded rod with a 90 angle. Just replace it with a longer threaded rod. Take measurements and Google threaded hinge pin.
