I have an array containing arrays of names and other details, in alphabetical order. Each array includes the first letter associated with the name.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => a
            [1] => Alanis Morissette
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => a
            [1] => Alesha Dixon
        )
    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => a
            [1] => Alexandra Burke
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => b
            [1] => Britney Spears
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [0] => b
            [1] => Bryan Adams
        )
)

I'd like to display them grouped by that first initial, eg:

A
-
Alanis Morissette
Alesha Dixon
Alexandra Burke

B
-
Britney Spears
Bryan Adams

etc...

Is this at all possible?
