A to Z, Z to A
I found a sentence including 'from Z to A' in a book.
Is there any difference in meaning with 'from A to Z' ?

Without context this apparently would mean "very little." For example:
"He did everything from A to Z." (This means he did every possible thing. "A to Z" is 26 letters.)
"He did everything from Z to A." (This apparently means he did little. "Z to A" is only two letters.)
"He did everything from A to Z." (This means he did every possible thing. "A to Z" is 26 letters.)
"He did everything from Z to A." (This apparently means he did little. "Z to A" is only two letters.)
