Alphabetically first state (7)

I believe the answer is:

alabama

(Other definitions for alabama that I've seen before include "US state west of Georgia" , "State of SE USA" , "American state, capital Montgomery (7)" , "where cotton can be produced" , "Source of cotton" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the USA Today.
