Printing elements in a table downwards, not left to right

I was making a dynamic phone list to be printed around the office, and came across the small problem that I wanted it to print the names in 3 columns with the names listing downwards alphabetically, or as such:

NAME NAME NAME
Andrew Ben James
Anthony Chris Kevin

So I had extrapolated the data from our database into an array.

So to print it, I’m printing the 3 columns at a time, but for each n-th row, printing the n-th element, then the n-th + ceiling of the difference element, then n-th + 2*ceiling of the difference element, and looping through this for loop “difference” amount of times.
