Well, that would be OK but ... by definition a TOC is never alphabetical. It s, instead in the order of the headers or header marks in the document, top to bottom (first to last). An index on the other hand is Alphabetical by definition and if you really wanted to could suffice as your TOC if you really want it alphabetical. Look it up. For your own purposes, it wouldn't matter what you did. For any professional who knows the business and what the TOC/Index is supposed to provide, you wouldn't get very far. They're easy to look up; try it.
