Expand a newly created Tree element from the create tool [message #1717780]

I have a tree element with deeply nested sub-element. My users don't want to click so many times to find the element they need to work on so I specify use semantic candidates=eAllContents() in the parent and they are all shown by just expanding the parent. When I use a create tool on one of the nested elements the newly created element shows in the list but always at the end of the list instead of in the position where it was crated. Refresh does not correct this but if I close and reopen the representation the new element is listed where it should be.
To fix this I made the create tool to create a new parent and copy the contents of the old parent then delete the old parent. Now after the create there is a new UN-expanded parent node which when expanded shows all the sub-elements in the proper order. I would like to hove the node already expanded after the create tool finishes, or another solution to the original problem.
