I'd suggest that you continue to use alphabetical directories. In the long
run (when you have lots of users), it may be faster and be more organized.
I use /home/r/reedmedia.net/public_html for example.

Look at http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
My config has:
UserDir public_html

You should also have the mod_userdir in use.
You may have a line like this in your Apache configs:
LoadModule userdir_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_userdir.so
(make sure it is uncommented)
