Hmm. Since sort index is a "built in" property you can't set it to "unique value per langue".

 I guess that one thing you could try is to do a custom sort index property that is only displayd if the language is spanish.

And when it it's saved overwrite the default sortindex value whit the value from the custom property. If that don't work another aproach could be to attach to one of the Page_Save events in Global.asax and do the change of the sorting index there.

 Hope this could be of some help.

Thanks Per,

That might be an alternative appraoch. Although I do not need the sort index to be different per language I just want to be editable in any language, at present, if in Spanish the sort index drop down is disabled.

Some way of enabling it would be enough.

Thanks,

Could be tricky. As far as I know it's the EPiServer.UI.WebControls.PropertyDataform that renders the properties. Atleast the ones you have added to your pagetype. Maybe you could make your own version.

What you could do is to make a edit plugin that only attach to the Populate event that renders the edit tree

You can there change that the sort index is editeble on spanish. the only tricky part then is to actully make it to save. There are numbers of way of doing this, but you can try first to replace the local language sort index property with the master language property and see what happens :)

Thanks a lot guys.

Much appreciated
