I would say it's worth a try getting
name of every button of someWindow
Chances are that (every button of someWindow) will give you the list in
index-order (button 1, button 2, button 3... etc.) , so (name of every
button of someWindow) will be in the same order. Now you can associate index
numbers with names:
set nameIndexList to {}
set buttonNames to name of every button of someWindow
repeat with i from 1 to (count buttonNames}
set theName to item i of buttonNames
set end of nameIndexList to {name:theName, index:i}
end repeat
Or if you're just trying to find the index of a particular button whose
name you know in your own localization:
set buttonNames to name of every button of someWindow
set theName to "whatever"
set theIndex to my CollectUniqueItemIndex(buttonNames, theName)
to CollectUniqueItemIndex(theList, theItem)
set theIndex to 0
repeat with i from 1 to (count theList)
set aListMember to item i of theList
if aListMember = theItem then
set theIndex to i
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
return theIndex
end CollectUniqueItemIndex
