Does anybody know if this has a common name, and is used commonly? I've used this technique frequently, it's quite useful, but wasn't sure if it was available outside the environment I work in.

could you elaborate on your environment/usecase? I also tried to find some literature related to this, but no luck so far. Seems like I am not using the correct keywords.

I've heard it called "ordered code" and used it to, well, sort a bunch of data by a key which was an ordered code.
