how to address via jquery an element with attribute?

yes but i did that by selecting the first-child.
i’d like to select it via the label – if there is Date or Datum (german)

so i thought i could do it this way:
$('th[aria-label*="Dat"]').addClass('dateFormat-ddmmyyyy');
but it does not work on jQuery
per css i can select it this way to change color etc.
th[aria-label*="Dat"]

sorry for late reply – just worked hard the days before every chistmas time ( customers get buisy in this time)

my code corresponds to the plugin needs – so maybe the shift of containers is responsible for that.
document ready or window load does not do anything on that code – even if i make an own function for that add class rule:

function add_thead_tag(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
	    $( '.tablesorter tr.avia-heading-row' ).wrap( '<thead class="sort-able"></thead>' );
    	    $( 'thead.sort-able' ).insertBefore( '.tablesorter tbody' );
	    $( 'th[aria-label*="Datum"]').addClass('dateFormat-ddmmyyyy' );
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_thead_tag');

the first lines are needed to have the needed structure for that little plugin.
on Enfold the table design is like this – and that is normal structure of a table – but that plugin needs the heading in a special container outside the tbody:

<table>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>heading1</td>
			<td>heading2</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>1</td>
			<td>2</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>3</td>
			<td>4</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>5</td>
			<td>6</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

PS: it is not so important – i can select it in a different way – but i do not understand why it does not work in this way.

i guess you are right. on my webers-testseite.de there are too many customizations i guess. My child-theme functions.php has over 1500lines –
But on a fresh WP5 / Enfold 4.5.1 this little code does not work as it should too.

Anyway – forget it and close that thing here

Edit : It had to be a combination of shifting the container and after all adding the class – it does not work without window load function but -the shifting a had to be outside that rule:

function fix_for_tablesorter(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
	    $('.tablesorter tr.avia-heading-row').wrap( '<thead class="sort-able"></thead>' );
    	    $('thead.sort-able').insertBefore( '.tablesorter tbody' );
	    $(window).load(function(){
		$('th[aria-label*="Dat"]').addClass('dateFormat-ddmmyyyy');
	    });
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'fix_for_tablesorter');
