Cascading sort order that restarts count at each subsequent column

I'm trying to sort a table by multiple columns (easy) and obtain a specialized sort order (not-so-easy).
Rather than a sortIndex vector I'm trying to get a sortIndex matrix where each column's count restarts from 1 as a preceding column changes. This is kind of like a set of cascading counters that restart back at 1 as any of the preceding counters tick forward.
Here's some data:
DAT = array2table([
"A" "a" "1"
"A" "a" "2"
"B" "a" "3"
"C" "a" "3"
"C" "b" "5"
"C" "a" "4"
"C" "b" "6"
"C" "b" "7"
], 'Var', ["ColA" "ColB" "ColC"])
And here's a clunky nested loop that achieves what I'm looking for in the specific case of having 3 columns to my data:
Omat = zeros(height(DAT),3);
[~,~,grpA] = unique(DAT.ColA,'stable');
Omat(:,1) = grpA;
for noA = 1:max(grpA)
maskA = grpA==noA;
subIndsA = find(maskA);
[~,~,subGrpB] = unique(DAT.ColB(maskA),'stable');
Omat(subIndsA,2) = subGrpB;
for noB = 1:max(subGrpB)
subMaskB = subGrpB==noB;
[~,~,subSubGrpC] = unique(DAT.ColC(subIndsA(subMaskB)),'stable');
Omat(subIndsA(subMaskB),3) = subSubGrpC;
end
end
And here's the output next to the original data:
Omat =
1 1 1 % "A" "a" "1"
1 1 2 % "A" "a" "2"
2 1 1 % "B" "a" "3"
3 1 1 % "C" "a" "3"
3 2 1 % "C" "b" "5"
3 1 2 % "C" "a" "4"
3 2 2 % "C" "b" "6"
3 2 3 % "C" "b" "7"
Can anyone think of a cleaner implementation that can generalize to N columns?

Ran in:
DAT = array2table([
"A" "a" "1"
"A" "a" "2"
"B" "a" "3"
"C" "a" "3"
"C" "b" "5"
"C" "a" "4"
"C" "b" "6"
"C" "b" "7"
], 'Var', ["ColA" "ColB" "ColC"]) ;
for i = 1:3
DAT.(i) = grp2idx(DAT.(i)) ;
end
DAT
DAT = 8×3 table
ColA ColB ColC ____ ____ ____ 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 1 3 3 2 4 3 1 5 3 2 6 3 2 7

Also:
DAT = array2table([
"A" "a" "1"
"A" "a" "2"
"B" "a" "3"
"C" "a" "3"
"C" "b" "5"
"C" "a" "4"
"C" "b" "6"
"C" "b" "7"
], 'Var', ["ColA" "ColB" "ColC"]) ;
for i = 1:3
[~,~,DAT.(i)] = unique(DAT.(i)) ;
end
DAT
DAT = 8×3 table
ColA ColB ColC ____ ____ ____ 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 1 3 3 2 5 3 1 4 3 2 6 3 2 7

Yep, grp2idx looks like a replicate of the 3rd output to unique (which is what I've always used for this type of operation) with grp2idx() just not having the same features to sort in chosen ordering/stability.
I'm still not able to produce the cascading/resetting set of tickers behavior without writing an explicit set of loops that match the number of columns... tricky one I think.
