It would actually be very useful if the principle of filtering by a start letter was possible.

I don't want to add a custom field that says "what letter do you want this to be sorted by" as that is kind of daft.
maybe I could make it a hidden field that sort of GRABS the first letter and at least it will feel automated. Hmm.
