WARNING: a better version of this snippet you can see at http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1051/

This filter spec is util only for who uses newforms-admin branch.

To use this, you need to extend the class ModelAdmin for your model class, like the MyClassAdmin class in the code, with attention to the following lines:

# Appends the filter
cl.filter_specs.insert(0, AlphabeticFilterSpec(cl.lookup_opts.get_field('name'),request,cl.params,self.model,self))
