Description

When using .addMethodDeclaration(Comparator.comparing(J.MethodDeclaration::getSimpleName)) , it does not seem to consistently place the new MethodDeclaration in the same place, resulting in unit tests intermittently failing.

Example in a previous PR, where I resorted to switching to use .firstStatement to pass unit tests consistently.

Research direction

Start at the addMethodDeclaration entry point and reproduce the inconsistent placement using Comparator.comparing(J.MethodDeclaration::getSimpleName). Review the previous PR discussion linked in the issue for context. Done means the new MethodDeclaration is inserted consistently and the affected unit tests no longer fail intermittently.
