english:for example we have some name which the first char is same,like : Armin,Amin,Amir,Ali,... so your solution is to store
"A" for Armin, "A" For Amin, "A" for Amir, "A" for Ali !!!!!!!
so as you can see your solution failed because ORDER BY first char is same for all of them,so your names will be sorted by index number i think.
