I don't believe that's a possibility. However, if I were doing it
myself, I would have two columns ... one that contained the 'abc'
identifier (or whatever) and the second which contained the
auto-incremented ID. Then when I retrieved the full ID, I would do
it using ...
SELECT concat(first_id,auto_id) AS full_id FROM id_table ORDER BY
full_id;
