[support] Views filter alphabetical range

[toon severijns]

Thanks a lot Ted!

I've followed your advise and i've got the computed field to work. I can't
seem to bring out the computed field as radio buttons with better exposed
filters though as it's a text field. Maybe facets could be a solution.

Best,


Toon
