looking at the .nlo file I see that the entries start with an a as here:

\nomenclatureentry{aprokaryots@[{prokaryots}]

so I guess that the {A} {C} etc above serve to sort the items according 
to these letters. But I still do not know enough to make it work. Anny 
hint were I can read about it in respect to it use in LyX?
