Well, you can use the idea to force specific sorting order of elements within archives (ZIP, RAR, CBZ, CBR, etc) as a type of suffixing, but that is about it. This can be helpful if you don't like to use an artificial page numbering scheme to maintain logical display order for unnumbered elements (outside cover, inside cover, flaps, frontispiece, the bookmark/poster/map/whatever that came with the book, etc).
Of course, you could just use numeric prefixing instead to force a specific display order of elements, without relying on ASCII order.
