There is already an alphabetical list of articles available in Wikipedia: it is "All pages by title" on Special Pages or Special:Allpages. It has been temporarily disabled but there is always a saved copy available.
It won't really help you with searching, only with browsing. And even then, considering there are at least 170,000 articles, you will have to browse for a really long time. :-)
It's pretty useful for maintenance - different spellings of the same subject are adjacent, articles with a common prefix are together, out-of-place articles jump out at you, etc. It's also handy as an overview of coverage; there are a lot of good articles that are effectively invisible because they're only linked to from one or two obscure places.
It would be cool to have an additional list that includes redirs colored differently.
