Instead of the <$view> widget, use
<$transclude index=<<thisIndex>>/>
This will cause the value to be "translated" before it is "included" in the
output (thus, "trans"+"clude"), so that any wiki syntax contained in the
value will be processed (e.g., [[foo]] will become a proper link to a
tiddler named "foo")

As noted in the documentation for
http://tiddlywiki.com/#indexes%20Operator, the names are returned "in no
particular order". However, as with any filter result, you can apply a
[sort[]] operator to change the order:
<currentTiddler>indexes[]sort[]

The indexes[] operator IS already returning the names... not the values.
The actual values are retrieved by the <$view> (or <$transclude>) widget.
Assuming that all the "Job Number" tiddlers have the same index names,
you can write your table like this:
<table>
<$list filter="[prefix[Job Number:]limit[1]]">
<tr>
<td> <!-- EMPTY CORNER --> </td>
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>indexes[]]" variable="thisIndex">
<td><<thisIndex>></td>
</$list>
</tr>
</$list>
<$list filter="[prefix[Job Number:]]">
<tr>
<td>{{!!title}}</td>
<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>indexes[]]" variable="thisIndex">
<td><$view index=<<thisIndex>>/></td>
</$list>
</tr>
</$list>
</table>
* The first $list widget retrieves ONE "Job Number" tiddler and uses it to
display the headings (the index names). Note the use of "limit[1]" so that
only one row of headings is shown.
* The second $list widget then retrieves ALL "Job Number" tiddlers and
displays a row for each tiddler, showing the index *values*.
