Thanks.

I have changed my code but am still getting empty output:

  public function getBrandsAlpha()
    {
		if (!isset($this->brands)) {
 		   $this->brands = $this->getBrands();		   
		}		
		
		$this->aBrandsAlpha = array();
		
		foreach ($this->brands as $k => $aBrand) {
			$initial = substr($aBrand[0], 0, 1);
			$this->aBrandsAlpha[$initial][] = $aBrand;
		}		
		return $this->aBrandsAlpha;
		 
    }
	
	public function getBrandCols()
    {
		if (!isset($this->columns)) {
         	$this->columns = array_chunk($this->getBrandsAlpha(), $this->getColumnsCount());
		}
		return $this->columns;		
    }

If I try and call the getBrandsAlpha function directly - I still get no output.

Where am I going wrong?
