You have other responses for coloring.

If you want to sort and categorize with a break point letter try this macro.

Sub Alphabet_Sort()

Dim iRow As Long
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

FirstRow = 2
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row

For iRow = LastRow To FirstRow Step -1
If Left(Cells(iRow, "a").Value, 1) < _
Left(Cells(iRow - 1, "a").Value, 1) Then
Rows(iRow).Insert
With Cells(iRow, "a")
.Value = Left(Cells(iRow + 1, "a").Value, 1)
.Font.Bold = True
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenterAcrossSelection
.Font.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleSingle
End With
End If
Next
End Sub

is there a way to insert a break bar or
something between the lists of names at each new last name beginning letter?

My list is extensive and I audit by name (alphabetically) - To show the
break points between the names would be very helpful.
