Bit of an odd question... but using the views module is there an easy way of creating a kind of 'browse by first letter' menu.

Basically I have a review site and I want to give my users a list of letters (A-Z) and allow them to click on a letter and to go to a page listing all reviews for artists begining with that letter. Is there an easier way than creating each seperate page with the views module?

I'm guessing there is a way to pass on the letter in an argument in the URL and for the views page to filter out and select fields begining with that letter... But I don;t really know how to get started on this...

though not exactly what you describe, i've created a very similar functionality with the http://drupal.org/project/views_alpha_pager module.

Thanks very much for the link... but that doesn't seem t be working I'm afraid...

Should I just make a view for each letter?

hm, i have it work on my site fine-- is it not working, or just not what you want? According to Alphabetic Link Listings (A|B|C..) with View? , a sort criteria is required to make it work.

If the way it works isnt what you want, you might be able to achieve it somehow with views arguments and some argument handling code.
