Cypress Test . How to test if a value (here title) is in the right category?

Question

Cypress Test.

The "category name" and the "title name" is in the same column of a table.

I know how to find the fitting "value" to a "title" of the same row but inside a column I have not found yet a solution.

This is the example to find a value fitting to an another value of the same row:

cy.get('.table1 > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(1)').each(($e1, index, $list) => {
        var titeltext=$e1.text()
        if(titeltext.includes('title 1')) {
            cy.get('.table1 > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(3)').eq(index).then(function(aValue) {
                var theValue = aValue.text()
                expect (theValue.trim()).to.equal('value1')
            })
        }
    })

But to find a value (here "title") being in the right category I have no idea so far. Is there cypress command like a "next value after a specific and fix entry in the same column"?

The table would be like this:

Code:

<table border="1">
<tr>
    <td>category 1</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>title 1</td>
    <td>subtitle 1</td>
    <td>value 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>category 2</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>title 2</td>
    <td>subtitle 2</td>
    <td>value 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>title 3</td>
    <td>subtitle 3</td>
    <td>value 3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>category 3</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>title 1</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>value 4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>title 4</td>
    <td>subtitle 4</td>
    <td>value 5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>category 4</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>title 5</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>value 6</td>
</tr>

How to test for example that in the same column "title 2" is in the "category 2"?

Thank you very much!

The commands .parent() and .prev() take you to the row and then previous row.

You don't need an .each() because you specify exactly one row and column with tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(1).

To find category for "title 2" / "value 2"

cy.get('.table1 > tbody > tr:nth-child(4) > td:nth-child(1)')
  .should('contain', 'title 2')                            // row 4 col 1
  .parent('tr')                                            // row 4
  .find('td:nth-child(3)')                                 // row 4 col 3
  .should('contain', 'value 2')                           
  .parent('tr')                                            // row 4
  .prev('tr')                                              // row 3
  .find('td:nth-child(1)')                                 // row 3 col 1
  .should('contain', 'category 2')
