The basic layout should be something like this with the names in three columns as the list grows:
Seating Chart
A
Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Adams ................ Paris
Mr. Kyle Adkins ...................... Brussels
B
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Burbigilia .. Luxembourg City
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Brown .............. Paris
etc...
I have a MWE but it is ugly. I can complete the project but my current method is labor intensive and not pretty.
I am hoping for a way to drop in a list of names with a pairing of cities and generate the desired output with names alphabetized and separated by alphabet headings.
I was going to try a glossary or index but couldn't figure out how to use cities for the index location.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
