Default Split up or delineate data

I have a column of data similar to this:

ant
antique
art
bee
beautiful
bored
chores
dancing
daytime

Does Excel have any means of finding the rows where the first letter of the alphabet changes to a new letter, and insert a new row in between such as this:

----A----
ant
antique
art
----B----
bee
beautiful
bored
----C----
chores
----D---
dancing
daytime

etc. etc... I'm pretty much trying to insert letter headers above the start of each new letter series.

If not, what if I store the same sorted list of values in an array of strings? What would be a good way of creating a new array that inserts letter dividers similar to above?
