I did this in SwiftUI

import SwiftUI

struct Contact: Identifiable, Comparable {
    static func < (lhs: Contact, rhs: Contact) -> Bool {
        return (lhs.lastName, lhs.firstName) < (rhs.lastName, rhs.firstName)
    }
    
    var id = UUID()
    let firstName: String
    let lastName: String
}

let alphabet = ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"]

struct Contacts: View {
    @State private var searchText = ""
    
    var contacts = [Contact]()
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            ScrollViewReader { scrollProxy in
                ZStack {
                    List {
                        SearchBar(searchText: $searchText)
                            .padding(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: -20, bottom: 0, trailing: -20))
                        ForEach(alphabet, id: \.self) { letter in
                            Section(header: Text(letter).id(letter)) {
                                ForEach(contacts.filter({ (contact) -> Bool in
                                    contact.lastName.prefix(1) == letter
                                })) { contact in

                                        Image(systemName: "person.circle.fill").font(.largeTitle).padding(.trailing, 5)
                                        Text(contact.firstName)
                                        Text(contact.lastName)
                                    }

                    .navigationTitle("Contacts")
                    .listStyle(PlainListStyle())

                                    //need to figure out if there is a name in this section before I allow scrollto or it will crash
                                    if contacts.first(where: { $0.lastName.prefix(1) == letter }) != nil {
                                        withAnimation {
                                            scrollProxy.scrollTo(letter)
                                        }
                                    }
                                }, label: {

struct Contacts_Previews: PreviewProvider {
