What is the shortest word you can find with the most letters of the alphabet in order (Not necessarily together)

eg.
aback ABC
defrosting DEFG

What about in reverse?

eg.
feedback FEDC

Try to maximise the number of letters while minimizing the word length

(In reply to re(2): 6 letter reverse solution by David Shin)

That is the longest word in English. But if you want to strut your stuff, the correct spelling is:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis (with an "o".)

Just in case any one was confused ...     :-)
