Or, you could replace the 1st position 12 with a 1st position 13 -- the
work of a second -- and you'd have a lower, more usable top gear. You
could also choose to ignore the top gear entirely, using only the larger
8 of 9, in which case nothing need be done with the 1st position 12. If
you're proposing moving the 1st position sprocket from the outside of
the cassette to the far inside of the cassette, I don't see that as
being practical, necessary or desirable.

I'm venturing into cassettes and wondered if there were any
complications in rearranging a 9-speed Shimano 12-36t cassette by
placing the 12t cog in the innermost position and then only using the
14-36t cogs for riding. Essential it's using the 12t cog (I'm assuming
it has a built-in spacer) as a spacer. Or for 8 speed spacing do the
same with a Sunrace 12-34 and make it a 14-34 with 7 usable cogs,
placing the 12t w/spacer at the inner position. I simply have no use
for 11 or 12t cogs and would rather use that space for cogs that I
*do* ride. My rings are 24/36/46 and I really do prefer riding in the
largest ring most of all.
