basically it's (pseudocode to get the idea)

foreach ($items as $item) {
$firstchar = substr(1);
$array[$firstchar] = $item;
}

I'd have to run query for each letter in alphabet, plus some more as 
czech language has special letter "ch" :).

Anyway, I did some tweaks and hosting raised memory to 512MB. The tweaks 
were that I'm running "execute(true)" so I'm getting plain array for 
records. Then the memory ran out in Fluid template, by removing parts I 
figured out that the problem is "f:link.action", so I'm constructing 
links to detail view in controller via good old "typolink". That was 
enough to make it work with 128MB.

Unfortunately I do. It's crazy I know, you can check it out -
