Yes, this has been mentioned before and it's a database function that I miss.
I did find this thread from 2005:

There is another system 'auto-number' attribute that does start at 0 for each indent level (that currently can't be displayed) but it only gets populated when the children of an Info Item are manually sorted (in the Data Explorer Pane or Search Pane). Would this be helpful? If so we can look at exposing this as a new System attribute.

Although this would be a positive step, I don't think it would encompass all the senarios a user might need.
Further discussion is welcome.
