Letter bar in the main library catalogue. (v3.2)

Clicking on a letter tab will immediately trigger an action. The grid shows the library catalog section where records begin with the selected letter based on the first letter of a primary sort field. You can activate the letter tab only if a text field sorts your data. If the primary sort field is not a text field, the letter tabs will be automatically disabled.

Question:
I would ask that the Alpha index be added. This way you can go quickly to where you want to go. I very often review my library items by title or author, in this case would like to jump to the section with the selected letter.

Answer:
The letter tabs feature has been added to version 3.2, allowing all tables to display the letter bar option.
