Description:
I have a requirement, if I set a group on table and the table includes a row.__rownum. I hope to set it based on the Group. just like:

Group1
Index   name
1        a
2        b
3        c

Group2
Index
1        d
2        e
3        f

There is a workaround to implement this result: set a RUNNINGCOUNT aggregation on that group, but RUNNINGCOUNT is not as same meaning as the row.__rownum. So I hope to enhance that.

This can be workaround by 
1.RunningCount
2.Script

We will do investigate to see whether such a functionality is necessary.

After discussion with Gary, we see no real persuasive use case for this feature. Cancel it.
