Sorting a recursive node

Question

Hello,
I've created a tree in web dynpro. This tree is filled with names of employees. I want to sort it by the names.
1: I create a Comparator:
public class ElementsComparator implements java.util.Comparator{ 
       public int compare(final Object o1, final Object o2)  {   
          final IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeElement ea =
               (IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeElement)o1;
          final IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeElement eb =
               (IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeElement)o2;
             return ea.getText().compareToIgnoreCase(eb.getText());
2: I get the root node and call the sort method
IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeNode node = wdContext.nodeTreeNode().nodeChildNode();
sortNodes(node);
3: in the sort method i have to iterate all child nodes and sort the elements.
public void sortNodes( IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeNode element )
     java.util.Comparator c = new ElementsComparator();
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setDebugValue(wdContext.nodeTreeNode().getNodeInfo().getPathDescription() + " :: ");
     wdContext.nodeTreeNode().sortElements(c);
     Iterator it = wdContext.nodeTreeNode().iterateChildNodes();
     /*when I add this:
         *wdContext.nodeTreeNode().nodeChildNode().sortElements(c);
         *the first childNode is sorted. */
     while(it.hasNext()){
          IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeNode childnode = (IPrivateView_WDHRMSSNaviView.ITreeNodeNode)it.next();
          childnode.sortElements(c);          
Why isn't this working? Can anybody tell me what's wrong?
Thanks,
Joachim

IMasterNodeElement parent = wdContext.nodeMasterNode().createAndAddMasterNodeElement();
parent.setName("Parent");
  IValueNodeElement e = parent.createAndAddValueNodeElement();
  e.setValue1("Parent Value1");
IMasterNodeElement child= parent.nodeRecursiveNode().createAndAddMasterNodeElement();
child.setName("Child");
  IValueNodeElement e = child.createAndAddValueNodeElement();
  e.setValue1("Child Value1");
