Sorting a Vector while entering data

Question

Hi, I want to sort the data of a vector as data is entered, the vector is going to contain a tree type structure in other words each element inside the vector can link to another vector in an element.
I have this add procedure at the moment which doesn't work.
public void add (char i)
     TreeNode node = new TreeNode(i);
     if (child.contains(node) == false) /* does the tree contain the node */
     int f = 0;
     boolean inserted = false;
     while (inserted == false)
     if (node > child.elementAt(f));
          f++;
     else
          child.addElement(node);
          inserted = true;
     else
     System.out.println (" The child already contains the child");
And this is my calls for the procedure
class TreeNodeTest
public static void main (String[] args)
TreeNode nodes = new TreeNode('Z');
          System.out.println ("The variable held in the node is " + nodes.data());
nodes.add('d');
nodes.add('c'); //the elements put into my tree
nodes.add('a');
nodes.add('a');
System.out.println(nodes.numChild());
So z is the root node and d,c,a are its children. Please Help

I don't see any sorting going on there, and I don't see any vectors. And you didn't say what your problem was. Want to try asking a better question?
