Not in ratings. A tornado may be rated F2, EF2, or (in the UK) T2 but there is no scale with "A" ratings.

However, in a tornado outbreak A2 may refer to a specific tornado. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms called supercells, which can produce multiple tornadoes in succession. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma sometimes labels its tornado-producing supercells alphabetically if an even produces multiple supercells and the tornadoes they produce with numbers. So in such an event, A2 would refer to the second tornado produced by the first supercell. Such a label says nothing about the severity of the tornado.

What is worst F2 tornado or an A2 tornado?

There is no such thing as an A2 tornado. There are three scales of rating tornadoes: the Fujita (F) scale, the Enhaced Fujita (EF) scale, and the TORRO (T) scale. An F2 and EF2 tornado are essentially the same thing. A T2 tornado is less severe, equivalent to a low F1 or EF1 tornado. In a tornado outbreak A2 may refer to a specific tornado. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms called supercells, which can produce multiple tornadoes in succession. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma sometimes labels its tornado-producing supercells alphabetically if an event produces multiple supercells and the tornadoes they produce with numbers.
