make a group of lists...

Write a piece of code which will make a group of lists from a given list that each of them contains elements from the original list with the same first character. Example: if the given list is [ā€˜ali’, ā€˜apple’, ā€˜anathema’, ā€˜bee’, ā€˜boz’, ā€˜kafka’] then result is [[ā€˜ali’, ā€˜apple’, ā€˜anathema’], [ā€˜bee’, ā€˜boz’], [ā€˜kafka’]]
