This will only work for `td` cells, but not for `th` cells.

In my opinion, it is a good thing that th cells are not selected, as these are usually treated differently. Also, the OP mentioned nothing about th cells.

A:
$('.sortable tr td:first').each(function(){
alert($(this).text());
});

I believe this will only select the very first cell of the table. Replacing `:first` with `:first-child` should give the expected result.

+1
A:
This (fairly verbose) selector should work:
$(".sortable tr > :nth-child(1)")
If you want another column, simply change the index to nth-child to something other than 1.
This will select both td (data) and th (header) cells, btw.
