Unity | How to Change enums depending on main enum selection on Inspector

Well i have this Enums to be set on the inspector but i want to limite which enum will show depending on the Main Enum Selected to avoid using different enum than the desired

public MainSortEnum Sort;
public SecondaryTypeEnum1 Type1;
public SecondaryTypeEnum2 Type2;
public SecondaryTypeEnum3 Type3;

And the Enums

public enum MainSortEnum
{
    First,
    Second,
    Thirth,
}
public enum SecondaryTypeEnum1
{
    FirstType,
    SecondType,
    ThirthType,
}
public enum SecondaryTypeEnum2 
{
    FirstType,
    SecondType,
    ThirthType,
}
public enum SecondaryTypeEnum3
{
    FirstType,
    SecondType,
    ThirthType,
}

So i just want to Be able on the inspector on this script to select the desired enum based on the MainSortEnum, is this posible?

You will need to create a custom inspector for the class that these enums are in.

For instance, we will call such a class MyClass: 

... //other namespaces
using UnityEditor;

[CustomEditor(typeof(MyClass))]
public class MyClassEditor : Editor {
    MyClass myClass;

    void OnEnable() {
        myClass = (MyClass)target;
    }

    public override void OnInspectorGUI() {
        myClass.Sort = EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup("Sort", myClass.Sort);
        if (myClass.Sort == MainSortEnum.First)
            myClass.Type1 = EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup("Type 1", myClass.Type1);
        else if (myClass.Sort == MainSortEnum.Second)
            myClass.Type2 = EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup("Type 2", myClass.Type2);
        else
            myClass.Type3 = EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup("Type 3", myClass.Type3);
    }
}

The easiest approach is to have multiple GameObjects (3 in your case) and switch the gameObject.SetActive(true/false) based of the user input.
