M Lanuage code to create index values for each field value

Hi,

 

I am trying to write a script that will generate an index number for each value in the "Entity" field. Here is a sample of the output I want to create. I have tried using the Group function in combination with the AddIndexColumn function but I cannot get them to produce this outcome. Any suggestions please?
