Naveed

You may need to use the "Grouping & Sorting" feature to get your report to
do alphabetic sorting.

Naveed,

Go the Report in Design View. At the top below the Menu Bar there are
buttons, one of the will say Grouping and Sorting. Click on that and then
in the Window that opens select the field you want to Sort By, select
Ascending. Close and Save... All done!

Yes. And if you want a *header* with all the products that start with
A (which I inferred from your phrasing "such as the products start
from character "A" should all be under it"), then you can create a
grouping header using a calculated expression like Left(MyProductName,
1).

Naveed,

At which part did you get stuck? Did you find the Grouping and Sorting? Or
perhaps how to add a Header for the letters?

Hi Naveed,

Other responders may be more willing to explain everything out in
detail, step by step, but I take the approach to give you ideas and
get you started in the right direction.

As Gina says, if you tell us exactly what you are trying to do, what
you have tried, and where you are stuck, we'll be able to help you
with the next steps.
