Programatically change a page's sort order

I need to write a UI plugin which resets a list of pages to a default sort order.

However, I cannot work out how to programatically change the sort order of a page

I have tried using PagePeerOrder property of the PageData object but this is read-only

e.g.

            foreach (PageData page in newsItemPages)
            {
                page["PagePeerOrder"] = defaultSortOrder;
            }

Is it possible to programatically change the sort order of a page?

thanks a lot

your are on the right track, but you need to make some small changes

PageData page2=page.CreateWritableClone();
page2.Property["PagePeerOrder"].Value = defaultSortOrder;
EPiServer.DataFactory.Instance.Save(page2, EPiServer.DataAccess.SaveAction.Publish,
EPiServer.Security.AccessLevel.NoAccess);

Nowadays you can use MetaDataProperties.PagePeerOrder instead of "PagePeerOrder" to avoid manually typing the property name for the sort order. It's still not available as a separate property on PageData, though.
