How about a substring comparison? Select all from your database and then
loop through using an array of the alphabet.

$alpha_array = array("A","B","C", ....);
$alpha_count = count($alpha_array);
for($i=0; $i<$alpha_count; $i++){
$sql = "SELECT name FROM table WHERE LEFT(name, 1) = '" .
$alpha_array[$i] . "' ";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $yourconnection);
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
print($result->name . "\n");
}
}

HTH!
