Nope. That's the way it generally works, the node is added at the
beginning or end of a linked list for that level. You'd have to fiddle
with private structures to change the order.

But why do you care where it appears in the tree? You should always be
finding the node by name and/or unit address, so it shouldn't matter
what order things are in.
