How about a substring comparison? Select all from your database and then
loop through using an array of the alphabet.

$alpha_array = array("A","B","C", ....);
$alpha_count = count($alpha_array);

for($i=0; $i<$alpha_count; $i++){
        $sql = "SELECT name FROM table WHERE LEFT(name, 1) = '" .
$alpha_array[$i] . "' ";
        $result = mysql_query($sql, $yourconnection);
                while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
                        print($result->name . "\n");
                }
}

HTH!
