How do I add a node between two other nodes in a HBox?

Question

Consider the following code:

HBox hbox = new HBox();
Button button1 = new Button("A");
Button button2 = new Button("B");
hbox.getChildren().addAll(button1, button2);

If I wanted to add a node between the two current nodes, is there a way to do it without removing all the nodes first then re-adding them?

since getChildren() returns an ObservableList, shouldnt you be able to use the add(int index, E element) to add the element at your desired index?
