Um...that's nice, but how do you seperate the "different lists" from 
within the matrix? Now you need to have at least one more list to have 
the starting position within the matrix. 
ie. 
{1,2,3}->\L\J
{6,5,4}->\L\O
{7,8,9}->\L\D
{12,11,10}->\L\Y
Now put those all into a matrix in the order of J,O,D,Y....
[1,2,3,6,5,4,7,8,9,12,11,10]
How do you recall the information in list "D"? You would need at least 
another list (or matrix) that had {1,4,7,10}. 

On a seperate note, why use a 99 x 1 matrix? Why not one big list?
