I need a hack/modification that classify the tag cloud into alphabetical list from their ifrst letters. i might not be able to explain, so i want smt like this,

A
abacus adium alien arcadium ......

B
bear beer bing bung
C
Camel cartoon cax
D
dremel detox
...
...
...

what i want from the index_tags tag is to seperate the tags by their first letters.

http://www.chtlj.org/tags#tags something like that.

could show me a way to do this?

Thank you @trustmaster, it worked fine.

Added 12 hours 34 minutes later:

It is fine but, i am thinking of using this, so that the output of that codes should suit this codes:

<div id="adv2"> 
  <ul> 
    <li><a class="selected" href="#ani1">a</a></li> 
    <li><a href="#ani2">b</a></li> 
    <li class="split"></li> 
    <li><a href="#ani3">c</a></li> 
    <li><a href="#ani4">d</a></li> 
  </ul> 
  <span> 
    <p style="display: block; opacity: 0.809547;" id="ani1">AAA Click on the tabs to see a nice fade.</p> 
    <p id="ani2">You're not impressed?</p> 
    <p id="ani3">But it's so cool... in a nerdy way.</p> 
    <p id="ani4">Download idTabs and have your cake. You can eat it too.</p> 
  </span> 
</div> 

If the output prints out the first letter in a group of " <ul><li> a</li> <li>b</li> .... </ul>, then groups the tags according to the first leter, that will suit, i hope.

i achieved that in a way that may not be so good but it is ok.
so it looks like this:

if you think it would be useful, i may prepare this as a plugin modification that is called Tag Index.
