I just did this the other day.
<cfparam name="char" default="A">
<cfquery name="" datasource="">
Select * from ContactList where lname like '#char#%' order by
lname, fname
</cfquery>
<cfset alphaList =
"A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z">
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#alphalist#" delimiters="," index="Char">
<font face="Arial" size="4"><a
href="contacts.cfm?char=#char#">#CHAR#</a></font>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

You can do this in your SQL
SELECT People Info
WHERE LastName LIKE 'A%'
This would be for people with last names that start with A.
