Renumber Item IDs in a Project from 1. Should have option to number based on hierarchy.

[Deleted User]

There should be a way to regenerate item IDs for a specific item type in a project starting from 1 and ensure that the IDs are created in the order that the item type is listed in the hierarchy.  This should be something that only a project admin can do.

Where this comes from is a need to re-order and re-number after a review and approvals process where other users have significantly changed the order and hierarchy of items. This doesn't occur all of the time, but there have been a few instances where a review has resulted in a massive restructuring of items, yielding item IDs that are completely out of order.

For example, I might have three requirements that were entered as follows:
Req-1
Req-2
Req-3

But I've reorganized them in the hierarchy (and subsequently, the report) to be in a different order, as well as added another requirement:
Req-3
Req-1
Req-164
Req-2

If I use "regenerate item ids", the item ids update to:
Req-167
Req-165
Req-328
Req-166

When what I really wanted was:
Req-1
Req-2
Req-3
Req-4

Since the items IDs are different from the API ID and the Global ID used for tracking, I would expect that this operation would be available already, but it's not.
