An easier way of grouping alphabetically

Asked By: Salina Sharpe Date: May 18, 2009 Category: Sharepoint Views: 327

I am just trying to see if any of you can think of a way to group my
lists and libraries alphabetically. At the present I've just created a
column and I manually make sure that the column is populated with the
first alpha character in the list. If there is an easier way I'd love
to hear it.

Why manually? Why not a calculated field:

Name: GroupByTitle
Type: CALCULATED
Formula: "=LEFT(Title,1)"

I wanted to do it through a calculated field, but I wasn't
getting the syntax correct on the formula. Do you know of a primer or
anything that I may be able to use to get better at the syntax for
the formulas?
