Even if it is realistic... I don't think we should prioritise technical definitions over a legible format.
Anyways, original debate threads for the bill are way different that amendments, and they deserve to be distinguished even if it means getting a dictionary definition slightly incorrect.

I mean, the current system puts a [FAILED] or [PASSED] in front of the amendment, while the new system puts a .F or .P at the end... I guess the current system works except when searching for something.
When you search for an amendment, instead of ordering like:
A.LPA.1.F
A.LPA.2.P
A.LPA.3.P
A.LPA.4.F
A.LPA.B
It will order like:
[FAILED] A.LPA.1
[FAILED] A.LPA.4
[PASSED] A.LPA.2
[PASSED] A.LPA.3
[PASSED] A.LPA.B
(I'm not sure if a letter would come before or after numbers, I'm just assuming "alphabetical order" means special symbols, numbers, letters)
