Rails route by alphabet

I'm thinking something like this could be accomplished with routing in Rails 3, but how would I handle it in my controller afterwards?

match 'items/:letter' => 'items#index', :letter => /[A-Z]/

Then I think I would have a param :letter in my controller, then I'd need to return the items that have that as the first letter in it's name. Does this make sense or am I crazy?

It makes sense.

Look for the letter in your query call as follows.

@items = Item.where("name LIKE ?%", params[:letter])
