You're on the wrong track - as Vas Crabb says, the Latin alphabet is not a natural way of expressing things, so it will come across as, "You mean like reading through an English dictionary from cover to cover?"
Maybe something like "从开始到结束" would express what you want to convey?
Oh, and 个 is a counter token for articles - you need these grammatical tokens as suffixes on numbers (which one you use depends on context). It definitely doesn't belong in "从A个到Z".
