Has it been made possible yet to order the include from A to Z?

Reason being, I would like to be able to set up a sort of MENU for my client that would display her blog titles in a menu format that is ordered alphabetically. This, in its most primitive form would be great.

To press further, would it be possible to paginate the menu by alphabet.
I.E.- instead of displaying page numbers on the pagination like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... it would display like A, B, C, D, E, etc...

Sorting news articles from A-Z based on the title is already possible. See here

Code:


<?php
$orderby = 'title';
$newsorder = 'ASC'; // or DESC
include 'news/index.php';
?>

Okay, so the ASC orderby will order the posts alphabetically. Cool!

What about getting the pagination to be able to display a,b,c,d,etc...? to much huh....?

Getting the pagintation to display a-z instead of 0-9 would indeed be a bit too much. Perhaps the easiest way to do it would be to manually create your own pagintation.

Code:


<a href="?page=1">A</a>
<a href="?page=2">B</a>
<a href="?page=3">C</a>
<a href="?page=4">D</a>

Though this isn't really ideal as it offers no way to count how many pages there actually are.

When I get a bit of time I'll look into creating a better solution for this.
