@euronark
How do you mean? Interesting thought. How would you get 26 records each
returning 1 search_field A-Z respectfully in 1 query?
I was looking at the old code I found and posted last night and think
another quick edit would be in the if:
if ( $this->find('first', $params) ) {
$alpha_links[$i] = 1;
} else {
$alpha_links[$i] = 0;
}
So you would end up with and real indexed array of letters rather than the 0
=> 1 you should get A => 0, B => 0, C= 1. Not tested.

Will be around later this evening with free time and will dig up the rest of
the function from the archive somewhere.

@Krissy Masters
instead of 25 single queries you could probably use a "group by"
statement and a single query :)
but nice idea, though
