[jdom-interest] repeating nodes

[Flávio Marim]

OK. It inserted the nodes.
But the <def> node is among many others. All nodes in document are filled
in diferent and non-linear moments. How can I assembly the XML in correct
order without loosing of inner contents? The tree is:

<main>
   <listed-item>
      <place>The place</place>
      <receiver>The receiver</receiver>
      <def>
         <number>number of 1st def</number>
         <type>type of 1st def</type>
      </def>
      <def>
         <number>number of 2nd def</number>
         <type>type of 2nd def</type>
      </def>
      <alert>
         <text>Alert #1</text>
      </alert>
      <alert>
         <text>Alert #2</text>
      </alert>
   </listed-item>
</main>
