You also avoid all the looped queries and conditional code by writing 1 SQL
query and grouping your cfoutput:
CFQUERY NAME="directory" DATASOURCE="someds"
SELECT
lastname,
firstname,
LEFT(lastname, 1) AS letterindex
FROM
Directory_tbl
ORDER BY
letterindex,
Try adding "ASCII(lastname) AS thesortkey" into your select clause, then
group by thesortkey and order by lastname at the end of your where clause.

this is one way.
CFLOOP index="letter"
list="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" delimiters=","
CFQUERY name="list" datasource="database" dbtype="ODBC"
SELECT table.fname, table.lname
FROM table
WHERE table.name Like
in your SQL statement, do an ORDER BY
For example, I want to sort by last name in alphabetical order, my SQL would
be like
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Address
FROM ClientInfo
Order By LastName

Oops, sorry
ORDER BY table.name; should be: ORDER BY table.lname;

Hi!
How do I output a whole list of names from a query
grouped
cfset Variables.InitialLetter=""
cfoutput query="queryName"
cfif InitialLetter is not LEFT(field,1)
cfset Variables.InitialLetter= LEFT(field,1)
#InitialLetter#br
/cfif
#field#
/cfoutput

Do it in your SQL.
ORDER BY LastNameColumn
Then, do your group buy

Hi!
How do I output a whole
This would be an order by statement in your SQL call...
like so...
cfquery name="info" datasource="yourdb"
SELECT *
FROM Customers
ORDER BY LastName DESC
/cfquery
use that ORDER BY statement as a DESC - descending, or ASC ascending...

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
BR
/CFIF
#lastname#, #firstname#
BR
CFSET rem_letter = #Left(lastname, 1)#
/CFOUTPUT
