So I was thinking of using Hexatrigesimal strings (base 36 numbers) for indexing like in a database. It could be very short indexes for long numbers, and still be completely ordered. However it doesn't seem to be supported a lot in programming languages. Does anyone know why it could be a bad idea?10
