Drupal views (2) has an argument string handler called "Glossary mode" that allows you to make dynamic single pages of views output based on a letter of the alphabet.

This handler doesn't appear to be included for CiviCRM views, and would be a really nice thing to have, since it works with all standard drupal fields.

I know this is old but I was looking for glossary and views and found an answer which might help others.

In Drupal 7/civiCRM 4.0.7 editing civicrm/drupal/modules/views/civicrm.views.inc
<code>
$data['civicrm_contact']['display_name'] = array(
'title' => t('Display Name'),
'help' => t('Full Name of the Contact with prefixes and suffixes'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'civicrm_handler_field_contact_link',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
// hack to allow display name show glossary mode in views attachment http://drupal.org/node/577442
// 'handler' => 'views_handler_argument',
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
'allow empty' => TRUE,
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
</code>

Or better yet, as I just learned - rather than hacking put it into your own module

<code>
function myModuleName_views_data_alter(&$data) {

//DISPLAY Name for the Contact (Full Name with Prefixes and Suffixes)
// see civicrm.views.inc around line 238
$data['civicrm_contact']['display_name'] = array(
'title' => t('Display Name'),
'help' => t('Full Name of the Contact with prefixes and suffixes'),
      'field' => array(
         'handler' => 'civicrm_handler_field_contact_link',
         'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
         'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string'
      ),
      'filter' => array(
         'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
         'allow empty' => TRUE,
      ),
      'sort' => array(
         'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
)
   );
}
</code>

Hi bouton... Thanks so much for this module. I have been using it for about a year but I just upgraded civi to 4.3.1 and it no longer seems to enables glossary views for CiviCRM data. Might you be able to take a quick look? Thanks in advance.
