How to do an nth sort?

[Charles]

I would like to select every other name in a contact list and create two
groups, A and B, for a test mailing.

I understand that by creating a new column and putting A and B into
every other row would let me do the sorting I want, but I can't seem to
find out how to do this.

Thank you,

Charles

To answer my own question, I see by more Googling how to do this:

Put A and B into the first two cells of a column, highlight those two
cells and double-click on the little solid square in the lower
right-hand corner. This fills every other row with A and B.
