Try something like this:
SELECT LEFT(lastName,1) as Initial, lastname, firstname from myTable order
by Initial, lastname
Then you can use the grouping attribute on the Initial field.
<CFOUTPUT query="myquery" group="Initial">
#initial#
<CFOUTPUT>
#lastname#, #firstName#
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFOUTPUT>

Subject: <cfoutput> lists Alphabetically
Hi!
How do I output a whole list of names from a query
grouped alphabetically? Output example:
A
Allen, Bob
Ames, John
B
Book, Sam
Briant, Max
I'm thinking it's by somehow using the group attribute of
the <cfoutput> tag or looping through the query, but I'm
not sure exactly how to get these results.
Thank-you for any help!
Christine
