a(n) is the index of the column where n is located in array A277898, a(2) = 0.

COMMENTS
a(2) = 0 as 2 does not occur in the array A277898 proper.
From a(3) onward the ordinal transform of A277892 from its first nonzero term a(3) onward: 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 4, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 6, 1, 7, 2, ... The relation does not hold the other way, because not all columns of A277898 are monotonic, for example, 16 is located below 18 in the sixth column of that array. Already the array's second column (A277900) is nonmonotonic.

a(2)=0, for n >= 3, if A010051(n) = 1 [when n is a prime], a(n) = 1, otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(A277894(n)).
