• (Misc) Missing link text on hidden table column [Multiple]
• (Tables) unlabelled column header for checkbox column [Multiple]

These two issues appear to be related to the actions column, the missing link is due to the sortable option being set to true even though there is no label. I believe to fix both issues we should set the sortable option to false and label the column as 'actions' or similar.

• (Misc) Checkbox missing label [Multiple]

This issue is due to the checkbox not having an associated label, however being in a table this is a bit of an edge case, this might be fixable with an aria label
