Is it possible to have a workflow or plugin with a triggered action to “Make Changes to a List of Things” by copying the Repeating Group’s Index Numbers to a order number field in this list of things?

For more clarity, let’s say we have a list of things (colors): index# // color // order# 1 // green // 1 2 // orange // 2 3 // yellow // 3 4 // brown // 4 If I delete “orange”, I am left with this… index# // color // order# 1 // green // 1 …

Does this mean it doesn’t work for Backend Workflow if it needs to be on a page?
