   Hi!

   I've created a page template that shows all the posts from a custom post type, and I would like to sort them alphabetically and grouped by the starting letter. For example:

   #A#
   An example
   Another example

   #C#
   Custom post types are cool

   #W#
   Wow!

   Any idea on how to do this? :)

   This should get you started:

   <?php
      $args = array(
        'orderby' => 'title',
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'caller_get_posts' => 1,
        'posts_per_page' => 20,
                    );
   query_posts($args);
   if (have_posts()) {
     $curr_letter = '';
     while (have_posts()) {
       the_post();
       $this_letter = strtoupper(substr($post->post_title,0,1));
       if ($this_letter != $curr_letter) {
         echo "<h2> # $this_letter #</h2>";
         $curr_letter = $this_letter;
       }
   ?>
   <br />
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
     <?php }
   }
   ?>

   Just change the query args
   

   $args=array(
     'post_type' => 'your custom post type here',
     'orderby' => 'title',
     'order' => 'ASC',
     'posts_per_page'=>-1,
     'caller_get_posts'=>1
   );

   Glad you got it working. Now, please use the dropdown at top right to mark this topic 'Resolved'.

   This works great, but is there any way to link to a certain letter? For example, if there was an A-Z list and you clicked on C, it would jump down to where the C's start. Or if you clicked on Z it would take you to the page that Z starts on?
