[SOLVED] Possibility of creating Dictionary-Style headers on PDF Results

I'm in the process of evaluating the feasibility of a couple things on a reporting wish list.

One thing is the ability to have Dictionary-style headers on each page of a PDF report. For example, if each page includes records for 20 business entries the first page would have in the header the first and the 1st and 20th business name. The second page would have the 21st and 40th.

Page 1 Aardvark - Astronaut
Page 2 Astronomy - Breakdown
Page 3 Breakup - Carnivore
Page 4 Cat - Dog
etc

Has anyone had experience with this type of implementation?

The only way I can think of at this time is to create a sort field that id's each page, and COMPUTE the MIN and MAX values in a multiverb request.

Knowing that it should be possible is exactly what we were looking for. Thanks for the help!
