Description
I love your index page which looks like a real index in a book. I would also suggest that you make a kind of thesaurus, where you have the first term on the page in the top left corner, and the last term of the page in the top right hand corner, in order for people to quickly browse to next page if the current page doesn't enclose the terms wanted.
If you factored it into a views 2.0...well even better ;)
#1
you mean - with separate letters?
Ok, this is good idea.
About Views:
No, i don't want use Views.
With views, my module is not needed, But: i don't like depends from many modules and exactly from big modules.
#2
Not exactly separate letters, but with separate terms.
Say that you want to show a list of terms, for example 50, and you have 2000 terms. Then the first page would look like:
Term 1 Term 50
Term 1
Term 2
Term 3
.
.
.
Term 50
The next page would look like:
Term 51 Term 100
Term 51
Term 52
Term 53
.
.
.
Term 50
Take a look in a thesaurus for an idea of how it works, or the back of an atlas where you look up a town/place.

pkej,
That's a good idea. Only problem is that the list of Terms is not yet being paged. So if you have 2000 terms, you may be in trouble.
So there are two issues here.
If you have a patch, I'll be happy to apply it, btw. 8-)
Thank you.

There we have a start... We can now display just one letter at a time. Although it still loads all the terms, then remove those unwanted terms, it works a bit...
Thank you.
