Sideways table from mysql query

So what I need to do is to place data from a database into a table.  The problem is that I need it to be placed into the table from top to bottom, then left to right, as opposed to left to right, then top to bottom.

In other words, I have an alphabetized list that I would like to be produced like this:

[table][tr]
[td]Amber[/td]
[td]David[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Billy[/td]
[td]Ethan[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Christine[/td]
[td]Frank[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Is there a way to make this happen using HTML or is that a PHP thing?

In other words, I'd like to read into the table downward, then when I enter a <tr> it would move me to the next column and to the top.
