That's how I do it all the time. As far as I know, first position 'A' always works.
Note, however, that this technique is good only for APPLied sysmods. Or ACCEPTed if you looking at the DLIB zone. If a PTF is only in RECEIVE status, then there's no alternative to looking by PTF in the GLOBAL zone for each level. . .
