HOW TO implement alphabetic paging on dynamic data with jQuery

A few weeks ago, I discovered how jQuery plugins make it easy to implement numeric paging & rating of dynamic data. Amazingly, there are jQuery plugins that can almost mimic any server-side slicing & dicing of dynamic data.

Continuing my experiments with the jQuery Template plugin, I implemented alphabetic paging on dynamic data fetched in JSON format using the Geonames.org webservice.
