Try,

<CFQUERY NAME="q" DATASOURCE="#DSN#">
        SELECT *, SUBSTRING(lname,1,1) AS FirstLetter
        FROM MyTable
        ORDER BY FirstLetter
</CFQUERY>

<CFOUTPUT QUERY="q" GROUP="FirstLetter">
        #FirstLetter#
        <CFOUTPUT>
                #lname#, #fname#
        </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
