How to sort items from your mod in vanilla creative tabs?

I've seen a lot of posts about this saying it's impossible or just misunderstanding the question and saying Workspace>Edit element order. But I know for a fact you can put any modded item next to any vanilla item, since nearly every mod I've played with does this. I'm using Caverns and Chasms as an example here:

So clearly it's possible, the question is how?

    public void insertAfter(ItemStack existingEntry, ItemStack newEntry, CreativeModeTab.TabVisibility visibility) {
        assertStackCount(newEntry);
        if (isParentTab(visibility)) {
            this.assertTargetExists(this.parentEntries, existingEntry);
            this.assertNewEntryDoesNotAlreadyExists(this.parentEntries, newEntry);
            this.parentEntries.addAfter(existingEntry, newEntry);
        }

        if (isSearchTab(visibility)) {
            this.assertTargetExists(this.searchEntries, existingEntry);
            this.assertNewEntryDoesNotAlreadyExists(this.searchEntries, newEntry);
            this.searchEntries.addAfter(existingEntry, newEntry);
        }

    }

I installed your plugin and recreated the code but it doesn't compile properly. Am I missing something?
