Group list items by first letter in item name in an A-Z list view

A really simple solution when a client needed an alphabetically displayed list of items. This was to be an A-Z list of useful tips for new employees.

I solved this by adding a calculated column to my list with the formula to extract just the first letter of each item's title like so: =LEFT(Title,LEN(1)).

Then I created a view with the Group By option set to my new column.

Simple but effective!
