No they literally did that already too, that’s why you hear other Greek letters like sigma males and all that bullshit.

How is sigma higher than alpha?
I'm not sure, but these two things may be part of it:
Don't forget P rank in a few games.
It is about 18 letters higher
Or 18 letters lower. The start is usually "better", getting an A on a paper is better than C, or being 1st in the world, rather than 18th.
I guess alphanumerically, sigma corresponds to a higher number, but I'm not sure if I've ever seen things ordered like that before. You start a list a α, not σ.
That's my take anyway.
In many Asian countries, 'S' is a grade higher than 'A'. The idea is that it should be given rarely, to those who are off the scales good. But due to inflation, now there can be SS / S+ and even SSS / S++.
You start a list however you need given the context. It's arbitrary.
As an example when doing time calculations in programming, UNIX time is the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st, 1970. If you needed a list ordered most recent to oldest, the highest number would be first.
To bring it back to you, a 100 is a better numerical grade than a 1. The alphabetical identifiers attached to grades are in reverse order to their numerical counterparts, which is even more fun because the person with the highest number and the earliest letter are considered "best." However, in some card games (Uno for example) having the lowest number is best when determining score.
