Sibling index of VE

Hello,

Is it possible to get the sibling index of a given Visual Element?

I often work with lists (My needs extend beyond ListView functionality) and I want to now what index the VE corresponds to in the list. Currently I have to loop through the list, and look for the matching object to find the corresponding list item.


Thanks

--Edit--
I've just noticed the IndexOf function, but doing this seems,uh silly,

Code (CSharp):

1.             ListItem.parent.IndexOf(ListItem)
2.  

Especially when Transform has a siblingIndex property
